If one of your friends or colleagues is frequently negative, controlling and manipulative, causing great distress to the people around them, they could have a toxic personality. These personalities can be incredibly challenging, but there are several ways to cope. Here, psychologists explain how to deal with toxic personalities—and what to do if you think you're the one with toxic traits. What Is a Toxic Personality? A person with a toxic personality is one whose "hurtful, negative and controlling words and actions cause significant distress" to those around them, according to Adam Borland, a psychologist from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

Adam Crockett lay death-still and unblinking as a doctor pushed a needle into his right eyeball and withdrew built-up fluid. With that task complete, the doctor at the Cole Eye Institute in Cleveland pushed a second needle deep into the back of Crockett's eye, all the way to the retina. Stopping just short of the optic nerve, he injected a steroid.

We're now in year three of the COVID-19 pandemic and it's only natural to wonder when the constant ebb and flow of cases will finally end. While some people have held out hope that the coronavirus will just go away at some point, most public health experts agree that the virus will never really disappear—begging the question, is COVID endemic yet? "SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is not going away," says Thomas Russo, M.D., professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York. "There are still people who think that this virus is going to disappear—it's not," says William Schaffner, M.D., an infectious disease specialist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.
