These actions disrupted lives significantly, notably among adolescents. A concerning trend during the pandemic has been the rise in adolescent suicide rates. This literature review aims to set the context for examining how the pandemic may have impacted adolescent suicide behaviors, comparing rates during the pandemic to the pre-pandemic period. Methodology: A total of eleven studies were included in this literature review after searching PubMed, CINHAL complete, and WorldCat databases. Result: Two main themes were identified. The first theme in the studies found alterations in the nature of suicidal behavior with a subtheme highlighting an increase in suicidal incidences and another subtheme were some studies found a temporal delay in suicide rate and behaviors or no change. The second theme found variations in patient characteristics during the covid-19 pandemic, adolescents aged 12 and older, female gender and having no previouse mental health condition were the main characteristic of patient exhibiting suicidal behaviors during the covid-19 infection. Strength, limitation, and recommendation: This is the first literature review examining the effect of covid-19 pandemic on children, adolescent, and young adult suicidal behavior, use of up-to-date studies, in eight different countries are some strengths of this literature review. Limitation of the literature review, most of the studies used retrospective and cross-sectional methods, such methods have major weakness that could interfere with the collection of data and interpretation of results. Recognizing the detrimental impact of COVID-19 restrictions on children and adolescents' mental health, it is crucial to implement targeted interventions. Schools, families, and healthcare professionals play a pivotal role in providing support and promoting mental well-being. Conclusion: Covid-19 infection had a big impact on the children, adolescents, and young adult’s suicidal behaviors and countries across the world need to priorities mental health wellbeing and find suitable strategies to tackle such incidences.encovid-19suicideChildrenINTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS::ChildrenAdolescentsyoungLiterature ReviewThesis
