While coronavirus spread across the world, something else spread even faster: anxiety.
In this episode of the State of Mind Podcast, Dr. Shyam Bhat explores why pandemics trigger widespread fear and panic, often taking a greater psychological toll than the illness itself. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and existential theory, he explains why uncertainty, novelty, and awareness of mortality activate deep fear responses in the human mind.
Dr. Bhat discusses how new and unknown threats strongly activate the brain’s fear centres, why modern humans struggle more with uncertainty than previous generations, and how pandemics confront us with the reality of our own mortality—fueling anxiety beneath the surface.
Rather than reacting with panic, this episode invites you to respond with awareness, balance, and compassion—focusing on what you can control, letting go of what you cannot, and using this moment as an opportunity to build resilience.
