Listen in as Dr. Mo Alsuwaidan discusses the link between mental health and COPD with special guests Dr. Marc Miravitlles and patient advocate Alfons Vinuela, offering their insights from both a medical perspective and lived experience. Learn more by tuning in at listenwellpodcast.com  or watch the full episode here.
