Isolation and "screen burnout" taking a toll on children's mental health during pandemic
Five days a week, sixth-grader Rocco Testa leaves home to attend school in person in Little Falls, New Jersey. CBS News first met Testa in last summer when he bravely opened up about his mental health during the pandemic
"It's just me being angry at the world and everything because of COVID and stuff," he told CBS News' Meg Oliver.
Like most children, Testa spent last spring inside, learning in front of a computer. Isolation took a heavy toll, but many of his frustrations faded after returning in person this fall.
