Brains of Post-Pandemic Teens Show Signs of Faster Aging, Study Finds
“Brain age difference was about three years — we hadn’t expected that large an increase given that the lockdown was less than a year [long],” said Ian Gotlib, a professor of psychology at Stanford University and first author of the study.

As a result, participants were also assessed for symptoms of depression and anxiety. The post-lockdown group self-reported greater mental health difficulties, including more severe symptoms of anxiety, depression and internalizing problems. “Deterioration in mental health is accompanied by physical changes in the brain for teens, likely due to the stress of the pandemic,” said Gotlib.
