First PhD paper🎉Stringent Covid-19 measures and quarantines were associated with more mental distress among adolescents. Younger adolescents, those with lower educated parents and those with lower MDD PGS were especially vulnerable https://t.co/LBbLrRWKdE

Our preprint shows how the pandemic affected psychiatric healthcare use for children and adolescents with existing mental health conditions. We see a significant drop in primary and specialist healthcare, with boys experiencing greater declines🏥👱🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/9f038ipjCr
