Hyderabad: Food insecurity that has increased during the Covid-19 pandemic negatively related to young mental health, international research studies involving young people from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have revealed calls for urgent support for the most vulnerable research, published in the online portal ‘Medrxiv’ On July 1, it found that young people in unsafe teen houses reported a high level of anxiety and depression even though light or depressed anxiety had declined significantly because the level of infection dropped.
Parts of young people who are vulnerable in the AP and Telangana have not shown a consistent increase.
Researchers from the Center for Economic and Social Studies Hyderabad (CESS) are also part of research.

This has provided descriptive evidence of the initial association between food insecurity and mental health.
It also carries ahead of the characteristics of the unsafe food group.
“Pre-pandemic research shows that 75 percent of mental health conditions are developing in early adulthood and that the poorest is more likely to suffer anxiety and depression disorders,” the researchers said.
