Schwartz-Mette interviewed by WVFX about adolescent mental health research

Rebecca Schwartz-Mette, an associate professor of clinical psychology at the University of Maine, spoke with WVFX (Fox 22/ABC 7 in Bangor) about her research tracking how the pandemic has influenced the mental health of middle and high school aged youth in the state. “Nearly all kids experienced increases in their depressive symptoms regardless of whether or not they were feeling depressed at all prior to the pandemic,” Schwartz-Mette said.
