Mental Health and Encephalitis
Welcome to a special World Encephalitis Day edition of the Encephalitis Podcast.
Dr Ava Easton, Chief Executive of the Encephalitis Society, is joined by Dr Thomas Pollak, from Kings College London, and Dr Jesus Ramirez-Bermudez, of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery of Mexico, to talk about some two new important research papers around mental health and encephalitis.
An important note for our viewers and listeners: this podcast will be touching on some difficult areas, including more broad mental health issues and difficult topics such as self-harm and suicide.
If this is something which may lead to difficult emotions for you or for someone you know, please know that our support team are here to help and can be reached on support@encephalitis.info or by calling +44(0)1653 699599.
Also, in the links to this episode, you will find some resources which we have put together around mental health which we believe will be helpful to anyone affected by encephalitis and also their family and friends.
This includes links to useful organisations around the world, a factsheet on mental health and lots of sources of support and information.
