Youth mental health in the time of COVID-19
Open accessAbstract
Youth mental health is a rapidly developing field with a focus on prevention, early identification, treatment innovation and service development. In this perspective piece, we discuss the effects of COVID-19 on young people’s mental health. The psychosocial effects of COVID-19 disproportionately affect young people. Both immediate and longer-term factors through which young people are affected include social isolation, changes to the delivery of therapeutic services and almost complete loss of all structured occupations (school, work and training) within this population group. Longer-term mechanisms include the effects of the predicted recession on young people’s mental health. Opportunities within this crisis exist for service providers to scale up telehealth and digital services that may benefit service provision for young people’s mental health in the future.

TL;DR
This perspective piece argues that COVID-19’s psychosocial effects disproportionately affect young people through social isolation, disrupted education/work transitions, service curtailment, and predicted recession. It highlights opportunities to scale up telehealth and digital mental health services for youth.
Key findings
- Young people face immediate and longer-term harms from loss of structured occupations (school, work, training), social isolation, changes to therapeutic service delivery, and recession-related economic insecurity.
- In Ireland, 51% of young people aged 15–24 in the labour force were unemployed, almost 2.5 times the adult unemployment rate and almost 2.5 times the peak rate for the same age group during the most recent recession (CSO, 2020).
- In a UK YoungMinds survey, 83% of young people with mental health needs believed COVID-19 adversely affected their mental health, and one in four previously accessing mental health supports reported no longer having access because of the crisis; 8% reported an opportunity to spend more time with family.
- The authors identify opportunities to scale up digital and telehealth interventions, noting telepsychiatry is broadly acceptable to many young people with severe mental disorders such as psychosis, with caveats around potentially increased treatment dropout.
Methods
- Design: a perspective piece, not an empirical study; it presents argument and synthesis rather than original data collection.
- Data/sample: cites existing literature, reports, and surveys, including CSO 2020 unemployment data, YoungMinds 2020 survey findings, and early reports from China on youth mental health during the pandemic.
- Analysis: narrative synthesis of cited evidence to outline COVID-19’s psychosocial effects on youth, research priorities, and service opportunities.
Limitations
- The paper states no limitations.
- Evident from the text: it is a perspective/commentary rather than a systematic review or primary study, so it relies on selected cited sources and early survey reports without formal quality appraisal or original data.
- Evident from the text: the evidence base discussed is rapidly emerging during the early pandemic period, and several cited findings are from surveys or reports rather than longitudinal youth mental health outcome studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
