      abstract     = {BackgroundPrevious and current studies highlight the
                      psychological distress caused by COVID-19-associated
                      restrictions among the general population, especially among
                      children and adolescents; however, few studies have examined
                      children and adolescents with a mental disorder. The current
                      study aims to explore whether youth with mental disorders
                      show a higher pandemic-associated psychological burden than
                      healthy children and adolescents and to determine which
                      psychiatric diagnoses are particularly associated with a
                      higher distress level.Methods144 children and adolescents
                      between the ages of 6 – 18 years with a mental disorder
                      and 48 children and adolescents within the same age range
                      without a mental disorder, and their caregivers, completed
                      questionnaires assessing pandemic-associated trauma symptoms
                      (the Child Report of Post-Traumatic Symptoms (CROPS) and the
                      Parents Report of Post-Traumatic Symptoms (PROPS)).
                      Additionally, we asked specific questions about
                      pandemic-associated stress factors, such as financial
                      problems, prolonged screen times or
                      loneliness.ResultsChildren and adolescents with a mental
                      illness showed a significantly higher psychological burden
                      than mentally healthy peers. Female gender was a risk factor
                      for a higher self-reported psychological burden, and a
                      younger age was associated with a more extensive
                      parent-reported psychological burden. Patients with a
                      depressive disorder showed significantly higher levels of
                      psychological distress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
                      than patients with an attention-deficit and/or a conduct
                      disorder.ConclusionsChildren and adolescents with a mental
                      illness, particularly females and individuals with a
                      depressive disorder, are at an increased risk of suffering
                      from pandemic-associated psychological distress. Adequate
                      mental health care options, such as telepsychiatry, are
                      indispensable.},
