COVID-19 Lockdowns: Behavioral Issues in Teenagers
COVID-19 Lockdown Effects on Teenagers
The recent study from the University of Washington sheds light on the significant impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on adolescent brains. Researchers noted that these disruptions have led to a worrying trend of premature aging among teens, resulting in cortical thinning by up to four years. This profound change may contribute to behavioral problems in this vulnerable age group.
Key Findings from the Study
- Significant cortical thinning observed in adolescents.
- Link between lockdown duration and behavioral health issues.
- Urgent need for mental health interventions.
