Personality and Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses increased, as did use of physical restraint and symptoms of hyperactivity, psychosis, and somatic complaints. Substance misuse decreased significantly. Most demographic variables were unchanged, except for a decline in Indigenous admissions. Effect sizes were small.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While concerns about increased mental health problems have been expressed during the pandemic period, adolescent admissions did not show increased symptom severity or functioning difficulties. The increased admission rate was accompanied by increases in only two diagnostic groups; possibly overlapping in heightened internal distress amid pervasive social disruption. That one vulnerable group \u2013 indigenous young people \u2013 had lower admission rates, may talk to stronger community supports or to further marginalisation from the health care system, during the pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10398562261462464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T05:12:42Z","timestamp":1783055562000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on admissions to an adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Thomas","family":"Klug","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Health Early in Life Mental Health Service"},{"name":"Monash University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Latowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Health Early in Life Mental Health Service"},{"name":"Monash University"},{"name":"Eastern Health Infant Child Youth Mental Health Service"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7783-8328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stanley","family":"Innes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Health Clinical School, Monash University, Box Hill,VIC, Australia"},{"name":"Eastern Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9971-799X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul","family":"Robertson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Brann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)60512-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2215-0366(14)00082-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13034-020-00324-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13034-020-00329-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s43045-020-00075-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352-4642(20)30109-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_8_2","article-title":"Mental health crisis overblown as liberty is lost in lockdowns","author":"Ahmed TO","year":"2021","unstructured":"Ahmed TO.
