I read this in the article "There was a 2% decrease in boys at risk of depression and a 3% increase in girls at risk of depression" but I guess that's not considered a "large" change.

The study also reported specifically that "Students at risk of depression pre-pandemic showed a reduction in depression scores in comparison to students with no depression pre-pandemic (HADS score of 0-6) who showed an small increase in depression scores." So it was the very students most likely to be depressed before the pandemic that are doing (slightly) better, and the small increase (from 3.0 to 3.9) does not raise students into the range considered most dangerous (7+)

Please try to avoid personal jabs and rule-breaking questions, thanks.
