Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik faces anxiety amid Covid-19 battle

Jeopardy! host Mayim Bialik has said that she is battling an unprecedented level of anxiety since testing positive for Covid-19.

The Big Bang Theory actress went on Instagram, in a video, to share fans that she was hit with the virus as well as a unexpected wave of anxiety.

"Something that I hadn't kind of anticipated is I have a new level of anxiety about going out," she said in a new Instagram video. 

"I definitely have been very vigilant and while I happened to be travelling in the safest way that I could... Part of me feels guilty that I went out. I feel guilty. I feel sad. And I'm worried about the world again and our health in the world.

"The mental health impact of this - especially for those of us who already have anxiety or are predisposed to catastrophic thinking - this feels really scary. And I know that it will pass. The intensity will pass."
