Abstract:Anxiety and mood disorders are among the most common disorders in children and adolescents. They presage later emotional difficulties and disabilities. An understanding of the disorders’ presentation, common contributing factors and methods of intervention will enable paediatricians and family doctors to provide optimal support to these children and their families. The present paper briefly reviews the epidemiology of anxiety and mood disorders in children and adolescents. Phenomenology is referred to according to the major diagnostic categories for anxiety and depression. Contributing factors, including genetic and environmental components and their possible interaction, are discussed. The management of the disorders, including common strategies for encouraging coping responses, stress reduction and medication, is also described.
Keywords:Adolescents   Anxiety disorders   Children   Mood disorders
