Love in the time of Corona.
CONCLUSIONS: Words like "love" are informed autobiographically as "growing words," with no rules defining their use. The significance of "love" to an individual is created through personal history, such that sophisticated understanding is only constructed following a lifetime of experience. "Corona" is perhaps a growing word; we cannot yet grasp its meaning in the face of cólera (passion) and pati (suffering) informing our collective traumatic script. Psychiatrists should aim to focus on the positive forms of feeling emerging during the pandemic, in order to be better equipped to meet the impending "second wave" of mental health complications.
