“Some [patients] are saying, 'I’m having paranoid feelings or I’m noticing my mind playing tricks on me' or 'I think I’m seeing things or I’m hearing things that aren’t there,'” Roger McIntyre, MD, a professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of Toronto and CEO of AltMed, tells Verywell. “This is definitely coming out, and I’m not surprised given the magnitude of the effect that [COVID-19] is having on people’s brains.”

Did anyone here watch the town hall from Edmonton last night? I watched the first from Red Deer on X and attempted to watch last night on FB but the hecklers and comments pissed me off so quit watching. after about 15 minutes. They are sure a different bunch north of me and I don't say that in a positive way from what I heard. I am sure Ganum will have something to say negative as he didn't watch from Red Deer but had lots to say.
