    Approximately 20% of adolescents had symptoms of major depressive disorder in 2021, the first full year of the pandemic. However, less than half of those who needed treatment received it. The study found treatment was most lacking for minority adolescents, particularly Latino and mixed-race teens. Previous research showed the prevalence of major depressive disorder among adolescents nearly doubled in recent years, rising from 8.1% in 2009 to 15.8% in 2019. The pandemic further amplified this trend by causing isolation, uncertainty, and fear among families.

    ‭Major depressive disorder is a chronic condition that surfaces in episodes of‬‭depressed mood and loss of‬
    ‭joy, with symptoms lasting at least two weeks‬‭. It‬‭is distinct from persistent depressive disorder, in which‬
    ‭symptoms last two years or more.‬

    ‭ revious research‬‭showed that the prevalence of major‬‭depressive disorder among adolescents nearly‬
    P
    ‭doubled recently, rising to 15.8 percent in 2019 from 8.1 percent in 2009. The Covid-19 pandemic‬
    ‭amplified this trend as it caused isolation, uncertainty, loneliness and fear of illness among family‬
    ‭members.‬

    ‭The Findings: Treatment gaps persist, especially for minority teens‬
