Most consider COVID-19 to be a respiratory disease...
However, after over a year of struggling to control the pandemic, current research is demonstrating that there is more to COVID-19 than we initially thought.

Since our knowledge about COVID-19 is constantly changing, it is vital to stay up-to-date on the most current research. In this course, we will summarize the most impactful findings and help you understand how they are related to psychological and neurological functioning.
Curriculum
Hi! I'm Dr. Erik Lande.
I'm the owner and head psychologist over at Insight Neuropsychology in Camarillo, CA.
As a neuropsychologist, my job is to understand how the structure of the brain impacts emotions and behavior. Much of my work focuses on testing for difficulties such as brain injuries, dementia conditions, or the impact of strokes.
I have also worked with a variety of organizations such as Adult Protective Services, police departments, and the FBI to instruct them on ways to better understand the aging brain and assist seniors.
If you would like to see more of my work, you can check out my book, Does My Mom Have Dementia or read a recent paper that I co-authored with an FBI victim specialist for the Department of Justice Journal of Federal Law and Practice.
