On January 30th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged the outburst of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), after several cases were reported in China. The virus was believed to have originated in a wholesale seafood market in Wuhan, spreading rapidly throughout the world. Restrictive measures, including quarantine, restraints, and closure of the economies worldwide affected mental health of many individuals. Although this situation could have provided opportunities for personal growth and spending quality time with families, it had the opposite effect, especially on children and adolescents, increasing isolation, abuse, and neuropsychiatric pathology. Lack of socialization, anxiety and stress, triggered neuropathology not only in children and young adults but also in the population at large. The negative effects of lockdowns, including increased prevalence of mental illness, domestic violence, unavailability of treatments contributed to increased morbidity and mortality in population around the globe. This was especially the case in adolescents and children as this group requires special care to properly develop. For example, in Italy where Covid-19 had severe consequences on both physical and mental health, the pandemic took a large toll on children and adolescents.
