“…According to the results of the World Health Organization survey, at present, about 4.4% of the world’s population suffers from depression, and more than 300 million people suffer from depression [ World Health Organization (WHO), 2017 ]. Some studies have also found that in recent years, depression has gradually become younger, and there is an increasing number that young people suffering from depression, among which the depression of adolescents is particularly prominent ( ServanMori et al, 2020 ) Adolescents suffering from depression not only affect their physical and mental development but also destroy family harmony, which is not conducive to social harmony and stability. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore the mechanism, possible influencing factors, and development path of adolescent depressive symptoms.…”

“…Do self-adjustment and campus deviant behavior have a mediating effect on adolescent depression? Can adolescents’ depression in 2018 affect their depression in ServanMori et al (2020) ? Based on the existing theoretical basis and literature, the research hypothesis is shown in Figure 1 : (H1-1) Internet use frequency is positively correlated with adolescent depression; (H1-2) Family atmosphere is negatively correlated with adolescent depression; (H1-3) Academic performance is positively correlated with adolescent depression; (H2) Campus deviant behavior has a potential mediating role in the relationship between frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, academic performance, and adolescent depression; (H3) Self-adjustment plays a potential mediating role in the relationship between Frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, academic performance, and adolescent depression; (H4) campus deviant behavior and self-adjustment have chain mediating effects in the relationship between Internet use frequency, family atmosphere, academic performance, and adolescent depression; and (H5) There are persistent effects in adolescent depression.…”

IntroductionDepression has become a prominent psychological problem among young people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between the frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, academic performance, self-adjustment, campus deviant behavior, and depressive symptoms among adolescents.MethodsBased on the survey data of the fifth wave (2017~2018) and the sixth wave (2019~2020) of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study used LISREL8.8 software to analyze 1,577 10~15 data on adolescents.ResultsIn this study, the mean score of self-adjustment was 42.40 (SD = 6.79), the mean score of campus deviant behavior was 12.59 (SD = 4.00), the mean score of depressive symptoms in 2018 was 11.88 (SD = 3.04), and the mean score of depressive symptoms in 2020 was 7.64 (SD = 2.20). Secondly, the frequency of Internet use had no direct effect on the depressive symptoms of adolescents, family atmosphere was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms (p < 0.005), and academic performance was positively correlated with depressive symptoms (p < 0.005). Depressive symptoms in 2020 had a direct effect (β = 0.37, p < 0.001), and also had a negative effect on depressive symptoms in 2020, with a total effect of-0.07 (p < 0.001); self-adjustment had no direct effect on depressive symptoms in adolescents in 2018, However, the total effect was −0.14 (p < 0.001), which had a significant positive effect on 2020 depressive symptoms, and the total effect was 0.18 (p < 0.001), and self-adjustment had a significant negative effect on adolescent campus deviant behavior (β = −0.38, p < 0.001); in addition, the frequency of Internet use, family atmosphere, and academic performance all had indirect effects on adolescents’ 2020 depressive symptoms, with total effects of −0.60, 0.01, and 0.02 (p < 0.001), respectively. This study also found depressive symptoms in adolescents have a certain persistence in time.DiscussionBased on this study, it is necessary to pay more attention to the depression of adolescents, strengthen the training of self-adjustment, improve the anti-frustration ability and psychological resilience, and reduce the campus deviant behavior of adolescents. It is recommended to try to start from emotional self-adjustment to promote the personality health of adolescents.

“…Before the pandemic, the prevalence of depression in the Fraylesca and Sierra regions – the areas that we serve – was estimated at 7.9% [ 11 ], whereas the Mexican national average remained in 4.0–4.5% [ 12 ]. As for younger populations, 35.8% of adolescents suffer from depression or generalized anxiety disorder, and 32.1% with both mental disorders report having attempted suicide [ 13 ]. Furthermore, the lifetime prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in the region is 54.7% among ever-partnered women, with significant associations between depressive symptoms and both IPV and Sexual Violence (SV) [ 14 ].…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has stricken mental health worldwide. Marginalized populations in low- and middle-income countries have been the most affected, as they were already experiencing barriers to accessing mental health care prior to the pandemic and are unequally exposed to the stressors associated with the health emergency, such as economic ravages or increased risk of complicated disease outcomes. Objective The aim of this paper is to describe a comprehensive initiative resulting from a public-civil partnership to address the increased burden of mental health illness associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in rural Chiapas, Mexico. Methods To address the emerging health needs of the general population and health professionals resulting from the pandemic, Compañeros En Salud (CES), a non-profit civil society organization based in Chiapas, implemented a comprehensive strategy to compensate for the shortage of mental health services in the region in collaboration with the Chiapas Ministry of Health. The strategy included three components: capacity building in mental health care delivery, psychosocial support to the general population, and provision of mental health care to CES collaborating staff. In this capacity building article, implementers from CES and the government share descriptive information on the specific interventions carried out and their beneficiaries, as well as a critical discussion of the strategy followed. Results Through this strategy, we have been successful in filling the gaps in the public health system to ensure that CES-served populations and CES-collaborating health professionals have access to mental health care. However, further studies to quantify the impact of this intervention in alleviating the burden of mental health illnesses associated with the pandemic are needed. Conclusions The current situation represents an opportunity to reimagine global mental health. Only through the promotion of community-based initiatives and the development of integrated approaches will we ensure the well-being of marginalized populations.
