  • Adolescent mental health problems have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Halldorsdottir describes why we need to be worried and what is needed to tackle the public health problem that is adolescent mental health. Dr. Thorhildur Halldorsdottir is an assistant professor at Reykjavik University and a clinical child psychologist. She broadened her research to include behavioral genetics and epidemiology. Building on this multidisciplinary background, her research today focuses on understanding the connection between exposure to stress and trauma and psychiatric disorders. In the past two years, she has in particular examined how the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying social restrictions have impacted the mental health of adolescents. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Thank you for acknowledging this problem. I have a 14yr old daughter that has been struggling since the pandemic. Losing a good part of her middle school to virtual schooling has seriously impacted her readiness for high school, academically, socially and emotionally. Her freshman year has been nothing short of a disaster and daily struggle.

    As a teenager myself I can hold true testament to how bad covid-19 has struck my generation and others in school. It truly sickens me to see my peers failing so catastrophically and constantly in classes. every assignment they fail and homework left undone sets them a step further from success and many seem content to stay oblivious to that fact. To see my generation prosper in the wake of covid-19 and any future obstacles is a dream for me, and I hope it changes to a reality with effort and time put into the matter.

    I'm glad this is getting more recognition, I was under 13 when I was stuck in lockdown with my narcissistic bipolar mum and a dad that barely came out of his room. Highly affected me but it was only this year that i realised how bad it affected me

    It should be mandatory to children to have therapy as they have a pediatrician abdominal dentist.
    It’s the most important aspect of your life. Your life’s results depending on your psychological abilities and balance.

    That’s depends a lot of variables, and if you believe Covid is actually the main killer 🤔 I don’t have a bias, but Covid is still open for a discussion … I am switching videos now
