In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week on 10th-16th May, Wellcome Open Research invited our Senior Research Fellow Dr Jocelyn Catty to discuss the impact of the pandemic, including the lockdowns, on adolescent mental health in the UK. In this blog, Jocelyn reflects on the Research Article she wrote during the first lockdown and shares her observations from the past year. We also learn more about her own experience as a psychotherapist and the challenges of having to adapt the delivery of mental health services and treatment during the crisis and how patients feel about the changes.
