“…Both universal (administered to all children within target population) [1182] and indicated prevention programs (administered to children demonstrating highly anxious symptoms) [1183,1184] demonstrate benefits, but indicated programs are associated with larger effect sizes than universal programs [1181]. …”

BackgroundAnxiety and related disorders are among the most common mental disorders, with lifetime prevalence reportedly as high as 31%. Unfortunately, anxiety disorders are under-diagnosed and under-treated.MethodsThese guidelines were developed by Canadian experts in anxiety and related disorders through a consensus process. Data on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment (psychological and pharmacological) were obtained through MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and manual searches (1980–2012). Treatment strategies were rated on strength of evidence, and a clinical recommendation for each intervention was made, based on global impression of efficacy, effectiveness, and side effects, using a modified version of the periodic health examination guidelines.ResultsThese guidelines are presented in 10 sections, including an introduction, principles of diagnosis and management, six sections (Sections 3 through 8) on the specific anxiety-related disorders (panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder), and two additional sections on special populations (children/adolescents, pregnant/lactating women, and the elderly) and clinical issues in patients with comorbid conditions.ConclusionsAnxiety and related disorders are very common in clinical practice, and frequently comorbid with other psychiatric and medical conditions. Optimal management requires a good understanding of the efficacy and side effect profiles of pharmacological and psychological treatments.

“…There were three treatments identified as Level 2 (probably efficacious) that were not primarily defined as cognitive-behavioral in approach (attention only, cultural storytelling, and hypnosis). In an RCT comparing school-based group CBT to an active control group, the attention-only control group was a supervised, structured after-school activity group where children participated in enjoyable group activities that did not explicitly cover feelings content (Manassis et al, 2010). In this study, children were not clinically referred.…”

“…These findings are consistent with CBT's emphasis on effortful, intentional change of cognition, a process that is more likely to affect cognitive content than underlying attentional biases such as those measured by the dot probe task. Interestingly, anxiety symptoms have been found to improve in some children with interventions that did not target cognitive content directly [37], indicating that further studies of mechanisms of therapeutic change in anxious children may be needed.…”

IntroductionIn the past decade, the literature on cognition in anxious children has expanded rapidly. New To ensure a thorough review of relevant findings, a search of PubMed was undertaken using the search words "cognition", "anxiety", and "children". As this search yielded several hundred papers, only those published within the past 10 years were retrieved.Key citations within these retrieved papers were also obtained, including some from the psychological literature. Thus, this paper represents a selective rather than exhaustive review with emphasis on recent findings. All COGNITIVE FINDINGS IN CHILDHOOD ANXIETY: TRANSLATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE AbstractBackground: The study of cognition in anxious children (i.e., those with anxiety disorders and those with high trait anxiety) is a burgeoning field. Cognitive biases towards encoding threatening information, interpreting stimuli as threatening, and selecting avoidant responses have been found to affect these children, and in some cases their parents too. These biases as well as certain cognitive abilities and deficits have been related to childhood anxiety and its treatment. Given the plethora of recent findings, implications for the practicing clinician are not always obvious. Methods: Using a review of recent medical literature, this paper summarizes key findings and examines potential links to clinical practice. Results: The need to appreciate the reciprocal relationship between anxiety and cognition is highlighted (i.e., anxiety can contribute to cognitive biases and deficits, but cognitive problems can also contribute to anxiety). Cognitive factors can also predict poor response to traditional treatments, and thus suggest modifications of treatment that may benefit some children. Treatments focused on cognitive biases are gaining popularity, but their role in the treatment of anxious children and in relation to other anxiety treatments merits further study. Conclusion: Recent cognitive findings enhance our clinical understanding of anxious children, and may suggest ways of tailoring evidence-based treatments to best meet the needs of children with diverse cognitive profiles and developmental needs.
