The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted the mental health of young people with increased levels of clinical depression being identified. Apart from clinic depression, a decrease in alcohol consumption was identified amongst young people during the pandemic. Researchers found evidence of a substantial impact on the mental health of these young adults due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with a significant rise in depression symptoms and a reduction in overall wellbeing during lockdown compared to the previous autumn. Levels of clinical depression in those surveyed were found to have more than doubled, rising from 14.9% in autumn 2019 to 34.7% in May/June 2020. Findings from the study highlighted a substantial impact of the pandemic on young people’s mental health.
