Adolescent Depressive Symptom Trajectories From Before to After the COVID-19 Pandemic
In this cohort study of adolescent depression trajectories throughout COVID-19, girls, teens in later puberty, and those with experiences of peer bullying, cyberbullying, and greater family conflict before the pandemic were more susceptible to developing depressive symptoms that persisted after the pandemic, whereas prepandemic parental monitoring and problem-solving skills were identified as prospective modifiable resilience factors.
