Summary: The text discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children and adolescents, highlighting the increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder among this population. The restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the virus, such as school closures, social isolation, and disrupted routines, have contributed to the rise in mental health issues. The lack of access to mental health services and resources during the pandemic has further exacerbated the situation, leading to concerns about the long-term consequences on the well-being of young people. Efforts are being made to address these challenges through telehealth services, online therapy, and virtual support groups, but more comprehensive strategies and resources are needed to support the mental health of children and adolescents during and beyond the pandemic.
