Dallas Psychiatrist Dr. Surin Sehdev of Aware Behavioral Health: COVID-19 Has Been Traumatizing for Many

Dallas, TX – As COVID-19 numbers decrease and state appears to open up again, many adults in Texas are finding that their anxiety and stress levels remain high, even as the risk of catching COVID-19 after vaccination remains low.

Dr. Surin Sehdev, a psychiatrist in Dallas and owner of Aware Behavioral Health, recommends people that continue to struggle with anxiety, depression or insomnia consider a professional evaluation.

“What we lived through with COVID-19 is a type of trauma,” says Dr. Sehdev. "Whether it’s the isolation, the fear of the unknown, the deaths of friends and family, or something else, most people essentially lived through mild to severe trauma daily, and it is natural to feel the effects of that even after the world gets back to some degree of normalcy.”

Dr. Sehdev cautions those that may continue to feel anxiety, stress, or depression not to ignore their symptoms. “We have a tendency to feel like we can get through these emotions on our own, and while the human spirit is strong, no one should have to try to cope with this stress alone.”

“A psychiatrist can talk to you about how you’re feeling, what you’re experiencing, and more, to get a better idea of whether you’re successfully coping with the collective trauma that we have all faced” says Dr. Sehdev. “If we find that you’re doing well, then at least you have that reassurance, and if you are struggling and can use some support, we have various treatment options that may be required to help you overcome the stress and adapt back into this now-unfamiliar world.”
