“…Given the marked overlap between pre-existing temperamental traits and anxiety disorder (e.g., Hudson and Rapee 2004;Pérez-Edgar and Fox 2005;Rapee and Spence 2004), focus on impairment in the child's psychosocial functioning in addition to anxiety symptoms may provide a clearer definition of onset Sandberg et al 2001). Such a definition would be more consistent with the requirement in DSM-IV (APA 1994) that diagnosis involves significant life impairment.…”

“…This is somewhat unsurprising given that anxiety disorders typically occur within a context of temperamental vulnerability and a history of long-term difficulties with anxiety (Hudson and Rapee 2004;Pérez-Edgar and Fox 2005;Rapee 2001). Therefore current findings are applicable to the triggering of a repeat onset of anxiety in children who have a previous history of anxiety difficulties.…”

The present study compared the number of severe life events and chronic adversities as reported retrospectively by mothers of children with an anxiety disorder (n=39) prior to the onset of their most recent episode, with controls (n=39) matched for age and sex. The parent version of the Psychosocial Assessment of Childhood Experiences (PACE) was used to assess chronic adversities (long-term experiences with negative impact on child) and severe life events (discrete life events with high long-term threat). A significantly greater number of severe life events and chronic adversities were assessed prior to onset for anxious children compared to controls. The finding for severe life events held regardless of whether impact ratings were assigned by mothers or a panel of independent raters, suggesting the findings reflect actual as opposed to perceived differences. Results suggest that both discrete and chronic stressors may constitute risk for future episodes of anxiety in children.

“…Anxiety disorders are mental disorders characterized by negative affective experiences; specific patterns of responding to these state related changes; persistence; waxing and waning course and sufficient intensity to interfere with daily functioning (Costello et al 2005). Panic disorder (Nedstadt et al 2010) and OCD (Cooper et al 2007) appears more highly heritable than PTSD (Perez-Edgar et al 2005) or generalized anxiety disorders (Schienle et al 2011). Other anxiety disorders represent a more complex interaction between temperamental factors such as behavioral inhibition or high levels of neuroticism and life experiences (Merikanaga et al , 2009) ).…”

“…Besides depressive states, questionnaires (TCI, JTCI) based on Cloninger's method are used in a series of child psychiatric disorders, focussing on the temperament features of individual diseases, including other anxiety disorders [28,36]. Cloninger's temperament scales have 4 independent temperament and three character dimensions * : novelty-seeking (NS), harm-avoidance (HA), reward-dependence (RD) and persistence (P).…”
