Core Tip: The aim of this study was to analyze the symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescent facial burn patients and the factors affecting anxiety and depression to provide a reference for the psychological treatment of adolescent facial burns. Anxiety and depression are common psychological reactions in adolescents with facial burns. The severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents with facial burns is strongly correlated with social support and self-esteem. These psychological problems have a significant impact on adolescent recovery and quality of life.
