- Background: Adolescent mental health is a growing global concern, with depressive and anxiety symptoms on the rise over recent decades. The significance of supportive social relationships, particularly within family and peer groups, is well-established in research. However, limited evidence exists on the impact of social relationships in predicting the developmental trajectories of mental health problems over time.Methods: This study aims to fill this gap by identifying distinct trajectories of depressive and anxiety symptoms among adolescents and exploring the impact of various factors, including family relationships, peer relationships, sex, and country of origin, on predicting individuals' likelihood of belonging to specific trajectories. Based on data collected from adolescents in Sweden born in 1997 and 1999, the study utilized Group-Based Trajectory Modeling (GBTM) to analyze longitudinal data. Statistical analyses, including multinomial logistic regression, were conducted to examine the predictive effects of social relationships on depressive and anxiety symptom trajectories.Results: Positive social relationships with family and peers emerged as robust predictors across depressive and anxiety symptom trajectories. Female participants consistently exhibited higher mean scores of depressive and anxiety symptoms than males, while participants originating from countries outside the Nordic region were at higher risk of belonging to depressive symptom trajectory groups with higher mean scores. Despite limitations such as high attrition rates, the study's methodological rigor offers valuable insights into the predictive effects of social relationships on mental health trajectories.Conclusions: The study underscores the importance of addressing social factors in adolescent mental health prevention strategies. Despite facing limitations such as high attrition rates, the study's strengths lie in its methodological rigor, providing valuable insights into the predictive effects of social relationships on mental health trajectories and addressing crucial gaps in the literature. This pioneering approach offers implications for future intervention and prevention strategies, emphasizing the importance of social factors in understanding and addressing adolescent mental health.
