“…Recently, children with ADHD were found to develop new anxiety disorders at a comparable rate to a sample of DSM-IIIR anxiety-disordered children (Last, Perrin, Hersen, & Kazdin, 1992), and to have high rates of co-morbid anxiety (Anderson, Williams, McGee, & Silva, 1987;McClellan, Rubert, Reichler, & Sylvester, 1990) and anxiety in their firstdegree relatives (Biederman, Faraone, Keenan, Knee, & Tsuang, 1990;Last, Hersen, Kazdin, Orvaschel, & Perrin, 1991). McClellan et al (1990) found an increased rate of ADHD in the offspring of panic disordered adults vs. depressed and normal adults.…”

Objective: This article reviews the clinical and epidemiological aspects of anxiety disorders in youngsters, as well as current medical and psychological treatment strategies. The role of the neurobiological models possibly involved in the etiology of these disorders is also discussed.Sources of data: MEDLINE search of papers published in English from 1981 to 2003. The following key words were used: anxiety disorders, neurobiology, childhood, adolescence.Summary of the findings: Childhood-onset anxiety disorders are among the most frequent psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents. Epidemiological data estimate a prevalence of 10% in this population. The neurobiological models involved in the etiology of anxiety disorders in youngsters are closely related to neuroimaging studies with individuals presenting these pathologies. The role of the amygdala in the pathophysiology of these disorders is underscored. To be effective, treatment must combine several interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral, family, and, frequently, drug treatments.Conclusions: Early identification and prompt treatment of anxiety disorders may prevent negative consequences, such as school absenteeism and frequent and unnecessary visits to pediatric services due to somatic complaints related to anxiety disorders. Moreover, it is possible that psychiatric problems could be avoided or attenuated in adulthood.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2004;80(2 Suppl):S28-S34: Anxiety disorders, childhood, adolescence, neurobiology, psychopharmacology, cognitive-behavioral therapy.

“…Studies of the offspring of anxiety-disordered (AD) adults have demonstrated that these children are at high risk of becoming anxietydisordered themselves [1][2][3][4]. Likewise, parents and siblings of AD children show a higher prevalence of anxiety disorders than is found in general [5,6] Behavioural-genetic research has demonstrated that heredity accounts for part of the familial transmission of anxiety disorders, but it has indicated a substantial environmental contribution as well [7][8][9].…”

This study investigated whether anxiety-disordered (AD) parents differ in their childrearing style from non-disordered parents. A clinical sample of 36 AD parents with children aged 6-18 was compared with a normal control sample of 36 parents. Childrearing was assessed through parent report and child report. The results demonstrated significant differences in childrearing style between AD parents and non-disordered control parents, both from the perspective of the parent and from that of the child. AD parents reported a less nurturing and more restrictive rearing style than control parents. Their children did not report more rejection or less warmth than children of control parents; they did, however, report significantly more overprotection than children of control parents. The findings, from parental as well as child reports, apply to both AD mothers and AD fathers.
