Emotional distress in young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: evidence of risk and resilience from a longitudinal cohort study

Lilly Shanahan et al.

Summary: This study examines the emotional distress experienced by young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, comparing it to their pre-pandemic distress levels. The study finds that pre-pandemic distress, as well as economic and psychosocial stressors during the pandemic, are strongly associated with emotional distress. COVID-19-related health risk exposures do not have a significant impact on emotional distress. Effective coping strategies include maintaining a daily routine, engaging in physical activity, and positive reappraisal or reframing.

Longitudinal changes in psychological distress in the UK from 2019 to September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from a large nationally representative study

Michael Daly et al.

Summary: In a large, national sample of UK adults, the prevalence of clinically significant psychological distress increased during the early stages of the pandemic before declining back to pre-pandemic levels by September. Across all demographic groups, distress levels rose initially after the onset of the pandemic but then decreased significantly as the pandemic progressed. By September 2020, distress levels had returned to levels indistinguishable from those before the pandemic, reflecting the impact of easing restrictions and psychological adaptation to the pandemic demands.
