Background:Anxiety disorders are the most frequent mental disorders encountered in childhood and adolescent years. The number of epidemiological studies done in this area within India is limited.Objectives:We determined the prevalence of anxiety disorders among adolescents in a rural community of Ballabgarh block, district Faridabad, Haryana. Secondarily, we also assessed sociodemographic and other factors associated with anxiety disorders among adolescents.Materials and Methods:This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 729 adolescents (10–19 years). Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders tool was used for assessing prevalence and type of anxiety disorders. Sociodemographic and personal factors were included in the logistic regression multivariable model to establish associations. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) along with 95% confidence intervals (CI) are computed.Results:The prevalence of anxiety disorders among adolescents was (22.7%; 95% CI: 19.7–26.0). Girls (27.6%) had higher prevalence than boys (18.3%) (P < 0.01). Social anxiety disorder (14.3%; 95% CI: 11.7–16.9) was the most common form of anxiety disorder. Female sex (AOR 1.8; 95% CI 1.2–2.6; P < 0.01), lower-middle socioeconomic status (AOR 1.96; 95% CI 1.2–3.1; P < 0.01), and presence of stressful event within the past 1-year (AOR 2.48; 95% CI: 1.12–5.06; P = 0.01) were found to be associated with the presence of anxiety disorders.Conclusions:Anxiety disorders are common among adolescents in rural settings of India. Tackling them will require appropriate health systems response. Adequate interventions should be incorporated at primary care level to address the mental health concerns of adolescents.

“…They think they known so much and suddenly finds that they do not know much and suddenly finds that they did not know enough to solve their problem. In response to these, various scholars have described adolescence as a period of storm and stress, turmoil, must turbulent, stormy, helter-skelter, most problematic and identity crisis (Iroegbu, 2007;Coy, Cole, Huey, & Sear, 2019;Warren, 2018) and also several studies attempt to link stressful live events of adolescents to depression (Ahmed & Raju, 2009;Monroe & Harkness 2005;Rapheal & Paul, 2014). Yet notwithstanding, adolescents are often emotionally confused; they are mostly faced with mood fluctuations.…”
