period of my career, I’ve learned that most spinal problems, once correctly diagnosed, can be treated without major surgery. I’ve moved away from large incisions to the spine to percu- taneous and minimal


invasive inci-


sions. Although cosmetically this may be appealing, it’s more impor- tant to minimise muscle damage, which helps patients recover much quicker and with less pain long-term. In the past, a spinal decompression or discectomy would require patients to stay in hospital for days; however, now most would go home on the same day or the next morning without the need for any strong painkillers.” Mr Anand strongly believes in

Supporting emotional and cognitive wellness during Covid-19


One in four adults in England experience mental illness such as anxiety and depression every year T


he pandemic, and the neces- sary measures to contain its spread, have understandably


led to feelings of worry, stress and loneliness for many of us. People with pre-existing mental health problems have been particularly vulnerable. T e pandemic has posed unique risks to people with dementia, with loneliness and isolation leading to worsening emotional and cognitive wellbeing. It’s anticipated that some patients


who were hospitalised with Covid-19 will endure persistent illness such as anxiety disorders, depressive disor- ders, PTSD and cognitive disorders. T e mechanisms underlying these eff ects aren’t fully understood but are likely due to various factors, including the direct infl ammatory eff ect of the virus, low oxygen in the brain,


medications and sedatives used for treatment and consequences of long intensive care unit stays. People who have experienced Covid-19 should consider regular checks for cognitive and neuropsychiatric changes, and off ered specifi c mental health and cognitive rehabilitation programmes. Based at


the Green Door Clinic


in Harley Street medical area and at Nuffi eld Hospital Bournemouth, Dr Prabhakaran is part of an expert multidisciplinary team that delivers personalised treatment programmes for those with emotional, cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders.
