The connection to depression from loss of smell is an alarming result from COVID-19. WHY the NOSE? outlines the research and connections on how scent can impact mental health. Tracy's book is an extension of the TED TALK How the Nose Knows, expanding on the current research of scent and mental health.
BRAMPTON, ON, Aug. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study by J.R. Lechien, et al. (2021), suggests about 86% of people who have COVID-19 lose some or all of their ability to smell. An ongoing Virginia Commonwealth University study (Reiter, 2021) shows 43% of participants who lost their sense of smell or taste due to COVID feel depressed, with 87% of participants reporting reduced enjoyment of food. Evan Reiter, MD, medical director of the Smell and Taste Disorders Centre at VCU Health, says the health and safety concerns stemming from these responses give insights into the larger picture of long-term health impacts of COVID-19. WHY the NOSE? is a do-it-yourself book on using smell training to increase sense of smell and improve mental health.
