The reality of Lockdown Fatigue Syndrome in Melbourne

by Dr Olivia Ong August 13, 2021
written by Dr Olivia Ong

No one thought when the pandemic hit Australia in January 2020, that months later, many of us would still be dealing with its fallout. The restrictions for those living and working in areas where the number of COVID cases are higher have caused psychological, physical, and emotional effects, including physical and mental exhaustion.

My article outlines what lockdown fatigue is, some of its causes, signs and symptoms, ideas to help you to manage it, and where to seek help if needed.

The Unspoken Pandemic-The emotional pain from severe burnout that frontline healthcare experienced during COVID-19 pandemic

The Unspoken Pandemic-The emotional pain from severe burnout that frontline healthcare experienced during COVID-19 pandemic

by Dr Olivia Ong May 17, 2021
written by Dr Olivia Ong

It can be said that the pandemic has impacted many of us around the world, especially the frontline healthcare workers, myself included and it’s time we address these issues and bring the conversation into the open.

Politicians talk about opening the borders for travel and revitalisation post COVID-19. What they fail to talk about is the emotional pain that the frontline healthcare workers went through during the pandemic and their lasting effect on the healthcare industry and economy as a whole.
