Anxiety and depression doubled among children around the world, according to an analysis.
A new global study suggests anxiety and depression have doubled among children amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anyone who has cared for or spent time around a child during the past 18 months knows how difficult the COVID-19 pandemic has been on them emotionally.on children’s mental health during the pandemic to date shows just how significant the toll has been, indicating that 1 in 4 youth around the globe are grappling with clinically elevated symptoms of depression, and that 1 in 5 have increased signs of anxiety.
“When COVID-19 started, most people thought it would be difficult at the outset but that kids would be better over time, as they adjusted and got back to school,” Sheri Madigan, an author of the study published inon Monday and a clinical psychologist with the University of Calgary, said in a statement. “But when the pandemic persisted, youth missed a lot of milestones in their lives. It went on for well over a year, and for young people that’s a really substantial period of their lives.
The researchers pooled data from more than 29 studies that included more than 80,000 children in Asia, Europe, North America, Central America, South America and the Middle East. The analysis suggests that older adolescents and girls have experienced the highest rates of depression and anxiety during COVID-19 — confirming what many experts have been saying for months.
