Anxiety disorders are increasingly being recognized as important psychiatric disorders in adolescents. The anxiety disorders recognized in preadolescent children and adults all occur, to some extent, in adolescents. The characteristic presentations may be somewhat different, however, among different age groups. Generalized anxiety syndromes and phobias are relatively common in adolescents. Some anxiety disorders are clearly less common in adolescents, such as panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder, but subthreshold symptoms during adolescence may be early manifestations of more severe adult Psychopathology. Adolescent anxiety disorders may frequently be comorbid with depression, alcohol abuse, and conduct disorder. The developmental changes which occur from preadolescent childhood to adulthood clearly influence anxiety symptoms and anxiety disorders. While anxiety disorders during adolescence have some features which are unique to this age group, understanding these developmental relationships may be critical in determining the etiology of anxiety disorders across the life span.
