The Caribbean, including Bermuda, lacks sufficient CMD prevalence data to inform policy and service provision for adolescent mental health.

Prevalence was significantly higher among older adolescents, females and those that identified as Black or Minority. Among the 25.2% who reported moderate to severe anxiety symptoms, prevalence was significantly higher among older adolescents, females and those who did not identify as Minority. Furthermore, 65.6% of adolescents self-reporting moderate to severe depression symptoms reported comorbid moderate to severe anxiety symptoms. The rates of impairment for depression and anxiety were 22.6% and 19.1%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms among Bermuda\u2019s adolescents is high, surpassing post-pandemic global averages.
