The percentage of children and adolescents experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms has doubled during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a University of Calgary study.

The study was a meta-analysis of 29 different studies from around the world and included data on 80,879 youth. It also showed that older adolescents and girls were experiencing the highest levels of depression and anxiety.

Adolescents were particularly hard-hit because they’re at an age where more complex social relationships begin to develop. As vaccination programs are being engaged worldwide and people look toward returning to something resembling pre-pandemic life, the question now is whether or not the mental toll of the past year and a half will linger or not.

Government doesn’t care about the collateral damage of restrictions and isolation. And the media doesn’t know how to report on the pandemic without causing fear and anxiety.

More lockdowns needed to cure this.

Yes because of CBC, the Globe the Star and others pumping out irrational fear.

Easy answer to this dilemma. End this 2 week going on 18 month lockdown the kids aren’t doing good.

I wonder why..... maybe it's the pro lockdown, unvaccinated hysteria you guys push on these kids.

Incredibly sad, extremely worrisome and yet I fear that mental health issues will be rising across the board. We must take this seriously and tackle it head on.

Their depression and anxiety will further increase the longer this goes on. It could be awhile with the amount of dumb fucks out there who don't think of anybody but themselves and won't get vaccinated.

She's afraid she might be called upon to be on stage with Joe Biden. I've seen the look before. 🙊 🏃🍻

Direct result of your fear propaganda being constantly shoved in their faces. This ones on y’all 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Let them be kids again

Muhammad Qasim saw many dreams where it was the last day until Qiyamah (day of judgement). But every time Allah extended it by a day out of his Mercy because Qasim did not finish the work he had been given. Muhammad Qasim is Imam Al-Mahdi!

The whole point of this plandemic..

Isn’t there a vaccine for that?

Thanks to the media and government....they both should be shut down over this fake ass pandemic

We need to distinguish between effects of the illness vs the effects of the NPIs that have been placed under the guise of the illness. We need a balanced approach to mental health and the pandemic before we lose entire generations of people.

Doubled! fordnation passports, mandated vaccines, masks for young kids in school. Students NEED to be in school with friends and teachers. No more lockdowns! Young people cant take anymore!!!

We need more resources for everyone struggling with mental health issues. What type of resources would you like to see in place? I'd like to know what Canadians want.

Fear and more fear. Stop Covid turn off the TV and social media

No wonder big pharma keeps pushing and paying lobbyist to push their drugs. But hey you can’t sue them. They are not held accountable nor is the govt n docs the push it.

Due to the media and govt pushing FEAR for 2 years to the public. Considering paid accounts and BOTs have been doing the same also. Get ready for the fall lockdown and 2 boosters n they will blame it on the unvax. Yet if u gt d jab u can still pass d virus n get d virus…

And adults as well.
