“…This panic may affect their academic performance. [15] About 20% of young people will experience anxiety problems of one kind or another. In addition, 5% of children and adolescents experience such disorders, which are more prevalent among adolescents than children and more common among girls than boys.…”

Background: Researchers have shown that the anxiety and depression have an important role in academic achievement. Objectives: This study is designed to identify the impact of anxiety and depression on academic achievement in students living in North of Iran. Patients and Methods: In this study 666 secondary school students (13–19 years old) were involved in North of Iran, were involved in this study. We used two instruments for data collection, The Beck Anxiety Inventory and The Beck Depression Inventory. Results: The results indicate that girls with 21.8% were more anxious than boys with 11.6% (F = 21.448, t = 5.420), while boys with 29.5% are more depressed than girls with 17.8% (F = 25.530, t = 4.847). Additionally, there were a significantly negative correlation between academic achievement with anxiety and depression. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean of anxiety and age between teenagers, but a significant depression level of respondents who are 18 and 19 years old was significantly different from other ages. Conclusions: It is recommended that along with academic performance, mental health be developed in school settings using support strategies such as educational guidance and counseling, teaching life skill programs, and psychotherapy. It was concluded that there is an urgent need to pay more attention to the anxiety and depression of adolescents in Iran. The findings of the study will be useful in assisting educators, counselors, and psychologists to develop strategies to enhance students’ psychological well-being.

“…For these reasons, it is important to prevent that youth with elevated anxiety symptoms move on to fully develop anxiety disorders and to provide effective treatment for youth who have developed anxiety disorders. Prevention can be universal (i.e., addressing total populations) or targeted (i.e., addressing at-risk populations or persons with mild-to-moderate symptom levels; Gullotta, 2015). Meta-analyses have found group-based cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) programs to be effective for both targeted prevention and treatment of anxiety in youth (James et al, 2013;Lawrence, Rooke, & Creswell, 2017;Neil & Christensen, 2009;Werner-Seidler, Perry, Calear, Newby, & Christensen, 2017).…”

Background: The 'FRIENDS for life' program (FRIENDS) is a 10-session cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program used for prevention and treatment of youth anxiety. There is discussion about whether FRIENDS is best applied as prevention or as treatment. Methods: We compared FRIENDS delivered in schools as targeted prevention to a previous specialist mental health clinic trial. The targeted prevention sample (N = 82; M age = 11.6 years, SD = 2.1; 75.0% girls) was identified and recruited by school nurses in collaboration with a community psychologist. The clinical sample (N = 88, M age = 11.7 years, SD = 2.1; 54.5% girls) was recruited for a randomized controlled trial from community child-and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinics and was diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Results: Both samples showed significantly reduced anxiety symptoms from baseline to postintervention, with medium mean effect sizes across raters (youths and parents) and timepoints (post; 12-months follow-up). Baseline youth-reported anxiety symptom levels were similar between the samples, whereas parent-reported youth anxiety was higher in the clinical sample. Conclusions: The study suggests that self-reported anxiety levels may not differ between youth recruited in schools and in clinic settings. The results indicate promising results of the FRIENDS program when delivered in schools by less specialized health personnel from the school health services, as well as when delivered in clinics by trained mental health professionals.
