& Kendall, 2010; Norris et al., 2009; Pfefferbaum & North, 2020). Similar impacts are
expected during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among children and youth.

One of the primary mental health impacts on children and youth during the pandemic
is increased levels of anxiety and fear. The uncertainty surrounding the virus,
concerns about personal health and the health of loved ones, as well as changes in
daily routines and social interactions can all contribute to heightened anxiety levels.
Studies have shown that the prevalence of anxiety symptoms among children and
adolescents has significantly increased since the start of the pandemic (Loades et
al., 2020).

Depression is another common mental health challenge faced by children and youth
during the pandemic. The disruption of normal activities, isolation from peers, and
limited access to support systems can all contribute to feelings of sadness and
hopelessness. Research has found elevated rates of depressive symptoms among
young people during this time (Racine et al., 2021).

The pandemic has also had a significant impact on academic performance and
learning outcomes for children and youth. The transition to remote learning has been
challenging for many students, particularly those who lack access to necessary
resources such as stable internet connection or a quiet study environment. This
disruption in education can lead to increased stress, frustration, and decreased
motivation (Lee, 2020).

Furthermore, social isolation and limited opportunities for physical activity have also
contributed to an increase in sedentary behaviors among children and youth. Lack of
physical exercise can negatively affect mental health by exacerbating symptoms of
anxiety and depression (Scheepers et al., 2021).

In addition to these immediate impacts, there are concerns about long-term mental
health consequences for children and youth affected by the pandemic. The
prolonged exposure to stressors associated with COVID-19 may increase the risk of
developing chronic mental health conditions later in life (Duan et al., 2020). It is
crucial to provide appropriate mental health support and interventions to mitigate
these potential long-term effects.

Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health
and well-being of children and youth. Addressing their mental health needs through
accessible and evidence-based interventions is vital to ensure their overall well-being
during and after the pandemic.
