Abstract：
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the mental health and developmental trajectories of children and adolescents, catalyzing a range of psychological and behavioral issues due to enforced lockdowns and other restrictions. This text explores these impacts through the lens of developmental psychopathology, which integrates clinical psychology and developmental science to examine the emergence and evolution of psychological disorders across a lifespan. This paper highlights how pandemic-related disruptions have exacerbated conditions such as anxiety and depression and, notably, increased childhood obesity due to changes in lifestyle and reductions in physical activity. The analysis includes a discussion of how isolation has not only restricted access to educational and psychological resources but also increased the risk of parental mental illness and related familial stress, thereby intensifying issues of neglect and their consequent impact on child health. By employing a developmental psychopathology framework, this paper argues for the necessity of targeted interventions that address these complex interplays of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Such interventions aim to support children through structured educational and health-oriented strategies, ensuring their well-being amidst the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic. This approach underscores the importance of early, multifaceted strategies involving parents, educators, and healthcare providers to foster healthier developmental outcomes for children facing unprecedented global health crises.
摘要：
COVID-19大流行对儿童和青少年的心理健康和发育轨迹产生了深远的影响，由于强制封锁和其他限制，催化一系列心理和行为问题。本文通过发育性精神病理学的视角探讨了这些影响，它整合了临床心理学和发展科学，以检查整个生命周期中心理障碍的出现和演变。本文重点介绍了与大流行相关的中断如何加剧了焦虑和抑郁等疾病，特别是,由于生活方式的改变和体力活动的减少，儿童肥胖增加。分析包括讨论孤立不仅限制了获得教育和心理资源的机会，而且增加了父母精神疾病和相关家庭压力的风险，从而加剧了忽视问题及其对儿童健康的影响。通过采用发展心理病理学框架，本文认为有必要采取针对性的干预措施来解决这些复杂的遗传相互作用，环境,和心理因素。这些干预措施旨在通过结构化的教育和健康战略支持儿童，在大流行带来的持续挑战中确保他们的福祉。这种方法强调了早期的重要性，涉及父母的多方面策略，教育工作者,和医疗保健提供者为面临前所未有的全球健康危机的儿童促进更健康的发展成果。
