KHALIL DIAB
About this episode

In a podcast episode co-hosted with MohammadAli Jardali, we discuss mental health in times of conflict with Dr. Maya Bizri, currently psychiatrist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH and previously Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the American University of Beirut Medical Center. 

In this episode, we delve into the complex landscape of mental health in Lebanon, especially in these times of deep crises. We discuss access to mental health in this time of war and availability of physicians, psychologists, and insurance coverage. 

We examine the role of community support systems, grassroots initiatives, and NGOs in fostering mental well being in the short term during this war, and in the long term dealing with the multiple traumatic episodes people have faced. 

This episode can be found on all podcast apps.
