COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2, lead to major disruptions in the daily lives of youth around the world. The purpose of this article is to provide an updated review of the current body of research findings to date on the specific impacts of COVID-19 on the mental health functioning of adolescents in the United States. Original peer-reviewed studies examining mental health outcomes in the general population of children and adolescents during COVID-19 were identified through search engines and publications. Many of the studies were cross-sectional and not longitudinal so they did not compare youth mental health pre-pandemic to post-pandemic. A synthesis of the results of existing studies suggested that adolescent mental health deteriorated after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated social distancing measures. Yet, the extent of such effect is still a question worth investigation.
