COVID-19 and mental health: the fallout for children and young people

ABSTRACT

A report by children's commissioner for England Anne Longfield found mental health services during COVID-19 are 'nowhere near' what is needed. This follows an NHS Digital study in July 2020 which estimated that one in six children were likely to have a mental health condition, and that incidence of clinically significant mental health disorders had increased by 50% in three years.
