The study said research done before the pandemic already had found a link between exposure to early life adversity — violence, neglect, and family dysfunction — and not only poorer mental health but also accelerated brain aging.
reported that 37% of high school students reported poor mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 44% persistently felt sad or hopeless during the past year.Co-author Jonas Miller, who was a postdoctoral fellow in Gotlib’s lab during the study and is now an assistant psychology professor at the University of Connecticut, said the findings suggest there could be serious consequences for an entire generation of adolescents later in life.
The findings about pandemic brain changes in teens stemmed from an ongoing long-term study begun about eight years ago to explore why adolescent girls have higher rates of depression than boys. The researchers were following a group of about 200 Bay Area adolescents and assessing them for changes, including with MRI scans every two years.
