Abstract

Adolescent depression in the post-COVID-19 pandemic period has emerged as a growing public health concern in Malaysia, particularly following the reopening of schools for face-to-face learning.

A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving six informants consisting of school counselors, adolescent students, and parents in Selangor. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis.

In conclusion, post-pandemic adolescent depression is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires holistic interventions involving schools, families, and policymakers. This study provides important implications for policy development and counseling practices related to adolescent mental health
