    Over 1.1 million people in the EU have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, reducing life expectancy in almost all European countries by more than a year. The rate of depressive symptoms among young people more than doubled in several countries. Around half of young people in the EU reported unmet needs for mental health care services in 2021 and 2022. The pandemic also disrupted other health services, with the number of surgical procedures being 16% lower in 2020 compared to 2019, contributing to longer waiting times for non-COVID patients.
