Researchers continue to count the short- and longer-term mental health costs for children and adolescents of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated exceptional restrictions imposed by governments on their lives in an attempt to control the pandemic and its impacts. Despite being at low risk of serious physical illness from COVID-19 themselves, some studies have reported a decline in the mental health of many young people during the pandemic. Some have suggested that this could even create a risk for long-term morbidity. In this commentary, we reflect on the excellent article by Rask and colleagues on paediatric health anxiety and consider key research gaps for the field in general and for the specific challenges and questions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its legacy.

评论：“新冠”期间青少年的健康焦虑——Rask 等人提出的一些想法。(2024)

研究人员继续计算 COVID-19 大流行给儿童和青少年造成的短期和长期心理健康成本，以及政府为控制大流行及其影响而对他们的生活施加的相关特殊限制。尽管因 COVID-19 本身而患上严重身体疾病的风险较低，但一些研究报告称，在大流行期间，许多年轻人的心理健康状况有所下降。一些人认为这甚至可能带来长期发病的风险。在这篇评论中，我们回顾了 Rask 及其同事关于儿科健康焦虑的优秀文章，并考虑了该领域总体的关键研究空白以及 COVID-19 大流行及其遗留问题带来的具体挑战和问题。
