What is ‘The world somehow stopped moving’: impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on adolescent psychiatric outpatients and the implementation of teletherapy about?
## Background: The covid-19 pandemic results in disproportional consequences for psychiatric patients. due to restraints in physical contacts, providers switched from face-to-face contacts to teletherapy, but prior experiences were mostly limited. the study aimed at assessing symptom dynamics, potentially increased adversities and factors influencing a successful transition into teletherapy in adolescent psychiatric outpatients during the covid-19 pandemic. ## Method: Thirty adolescent psychiatric outpatients participated in an interview-based study. the differential impact of the covid-19 pandemic was measured by integrating patients' and psychiatrists' judgements. ## Results: Patients who reported deteriorated symptoms and patients who showed (partial) improvement of symptomatology could be separated by feelings of isolation (specific to deterioration) and perceived reduction in school-associated stress (unique to improvement). patients with worsening symptomatology showed a significantly higher degree of psychosocial disability before lockdown and at the first interview. patients who deteriorated in their level of psychosocial functioning also reported negatively on teletherapy.
