Citation #2: “How Divorce REALLY Impacts Kids’ Mental Health.” Youtube, uploaded by Shrink Tank, 29 January 2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcNs0BlYif8

Summary: According to a study discussed in The Guardian, on youtube, parental separation is more likely to harm the mental health of children if they are aged at least seven when the split occurs. Minors aged between seven and 14 at the time of the split exhibit a 16% rise in emotional problems, such as anxiety and depressive symptoms, and an 8% increase in conduct disorders. In contrast, children whose parents separate when they are between three and seven are not more likely to develop such problems either immediately or by the age of 14 than those still living with both parents. There is a panel of mental health experts discussing this and more in their segment of psychology that is called “Being Human.” The “middle school age” when something major happens to a kid has a much bigger impact rather than when they are younger. A lot of mental health problems tend to sky-rocket between the ages of 11-14.
