“…Severity of PD was evaluated by the Panic Disorder Severity Scale (Shear et al 2001). Each individual was also evaluated by two scales for separation anxiety: (1) the Structured Clinical Interview for Separation Anxiety Symptoms (SCI-SAS) which comprises a childhood section (SCI-SAS-C) and an adulthood section (SCI-SAS-A), respectively (Cyranowski et al 2002); and (2) the Adult Separation Anxiety Checklist (ASA-27) (Manicavasagar et al 2003). The presence or absence of DSM-IV defined SA disorder and the extent of SA symptoms reported during childhood and adulthood were determined retrospectively using the SCI-SAS interview.…”

“…All patients and healthy controls were assessed with the SCID-I for principal diagnosis and for the presence of axis I comorbidity [18] . Separation anxiety symptoms were evaluated in each subject by 3 instruments described in detail previously [15] , namely the Structured Clinical Interview for Separation Anxiety Symptoms (childhood section, SCI-SAS-C, and adult section, SCI-SAS-A) [19] , the Separation Anxiety Symptoms Inventory (SASI) [20] and the Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA-27) [21] . Childhood separation anxiety symptoms were retrospectively evaluated.…”

Background: Recent studies indicate that adult separation anxiety disorder is a discrete diagnostic entity and worthy of attention. Previously, we found a significant association between platelet expression of the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) and adult separation anxiety in patients with panic disorder or major depression. The aim of this study was to explore whether adult separation anxiety might be a factor differentiating TSPO expression in a sample of patients with bipolar disorder. Methods: The equilibrium binding parameters of the specific TSPO ligand [³H]PK 11195 were estimated on the platelet membranes of 24 adult outpatients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of bipolar disorder (with or without separation anxiety disorder) and 14 healthy controls. Patients were assessed by SCID-I, HAM-D, YMRS, the Structured Clinical Interview for Separation Anxiety Symptoms (SCI-SAS-A) and the Adult Separation Anxiety Self-Report Checklist (ASA-27). Results: A significant reduction in mean platelet TSPO density was found in bipolar patients with respect to controls. However, the lower density was only evident in the subgroup of bipolar patients who also fulfilled DSM-IV criteria for adult separation anxiety disorder. Individual TSPO density values correlated significantly and negatively with both SCI-SAS-A and ASA-27 total scores. Conclusions: TSPO expression may be a useful biological marker of adult separation anxiety co-occurring with other anxiety and mood disorders, including bipolar disorder.
