Beyond the danger for human biology, COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on our emotional and psychiatric health. Adolescents, long established by research as a population at increased risk for depression and suicide, now occupy a particularly worrisome position.
Research supporting associations between social isolation, trauma, and hopelessness with depression and suicide will be explored, with a special focus on adolescent populations.
Evidence-based functional medicine strategies for promoting balanced health and mitigating COVID-19 psychiatric risk will be presented, offering providers and patients hope for sustained wellness through the pandemic and beyond.
