Blog Posts on Anxiety and Stress in Teenagers

For some time, Devan had been noticing how stressed and anxious teenagers could be. It seemed that anxiety in teenagers was on the upswing, even before the pandemic. For his Polygence project, Devan chose to explore why this was the case. After reading countless research papers, he carefully crafted six blog posts: Positives of Stress, Early Risk Factors, Neuroimaging, COVID-19, Neurobiology, and Anxiety in Females vs Males. His main goal for these blog posts was to learn why anxiety was so prevalent in adolescents and to make the information he learned accessible to the wider public.
