The impact of COVID-19 related lockdown measures on self-reported psychopathology and health-related quality of life in German adolescents

Julian Koenig et al.

Summary: Based on a study in Germany, the first school-closing during the COVID-19 pandemic did not have an immediate and severe impact on the mental health and well-being of adolescents. Suicide plans and conduct problems decreased during the lockdown, and the influence of socioeconomic status on mental health also decreased. However, the study's scope was limited and long-term consequences cannot be ruled out.

The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on child and adolescent mental health: systematic review

Urvashi Panchal et al.

Summary: This study reviews the existing literature on the impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on the mental health of children and adolescents. The findings show that anxiety and depression symptoms are common, and children and adolescents frequently experience irritability and anger. Special needs, pre-existing mental disorders, and excessive media exposure are significant risk factors for anxiety, while good parent-child communication can be protective.

Eating disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine: an overview of risks and recommendations for treatment and early intervention

Marita Cooper et al.

Summary: Individuals with eating disorders are facing significant risks during the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased symptoms, limited treatment access, and negative effects of weight-stigmatizing social media messages. Changes in socialization, routine, and experiences of trauma globally may also hinder ED risk and recovery. This paper provides a brief review of relevant literature and offers suggestions for modifying interventions to address the unique challenges faced by individuals with EDs and providers in this public health crisis.

Examining risk and protective factors for psychological health during the COVID-19 pandemic

Sarah Racine et al.

Summary: The study found that different risk and protective factors have varying impacts on psychopathology, such as loneliness and mindfulness being broadly related to mental health symptoms, while repetitive thinking and anxiety, low meaning and purpose are related to specific symptoms. Additionally, objective stress due to COVID-19 interacts with risk factors, but not protective factors, in predicting greater anxiety symptoms.

What's Happened to Italian Adolescents During the COVID-19 Pandemic? A Preliminary Study on Symptoms, Problematic Social Media Usage, and Attachment: Relationships and Differences With Pre-pandemic Peers

Stefania Muzi et al.

Summary: Italian adolescents experienced fear, uncertainty, and loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially increasing vulnerability to emotional-behavioral symptoms and binge-eating attitudes. Problematic social media usage and attachment insecurity were identified as risk factors for psychopathological symptoms. Adolescents in this study exhibited lower internalizing symptoms but higher other problems and more problematic social media usage compared to pre-pandemic samples, with no significant differences in binge-eating attitudes and attachment classifications. Problematic social media usage was associated with more binge eating and emotional-behavioral problems, while attachment disorganization predicted internalizing problems, somatic complaints, and social and identity-related problems.

Katrin E. Giel et al.

Summary: This study found that individuals with a history of an eating disorder are at risk for symptom deterioration and relapse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Binge eating frequency, general eating disorder pathology, and depressive symptoms increased significantly after the COVID-19 outbreak. Those with higher scores on reappraisal as an emotion regulation strategy and sense of coherence had lower general eating disorder pathology.

Mental health among elite athletes in Norway during a selected period of the COVID-19 pandemic

Anne Marte Pensgaard et al.

Summary: The study found that symptoms of insomnia and depression were more common among elite athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic, with female athletes more likely to experience eating disorders and male athletes more likely to have gambling problems. Olympic and Paralympic athletes reported lower levels of anxiety and depression symptoms compared to elite and semielite athletes. Financial concerns were associated with an increased risk of mental health problems, while maintaining daily routines and perceived coping were correlated with a decrease in mental health problems and an increase in satisfaction with life.

A cross-sectional study investigated the experiences of healthcare providers treating eating disorders and found that social restrictions negatively affected the frequency of dysfunctional behaviors and therapeutic efficacy. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in a larger sample size.
