Outbreak response includes the mental burden of isolation
An 8 October WHO interview with a psychiatric nurse in Arua, Uganda, describes the psychological work of Ebola response. Isolation, separation from family and return to community life need attention alongside infection control. Limited mental-health staffing restricts that support. The account records frontline experience; it is neither a controlled clinical study nor a newly issued treatment guideline.
