ObjectiveThis paper provides clinical details in the form of case vignettes from a prospective epidemiological study that found the combination of childhood “soft‘’ signs and anxious behavior to be a strong risk factor for adolescent emotional disorders.MethodThe original study conducted a neuropsychiatric assessment of adolescents who had been followed through childhood.ResultsThe at-risk subjects are shown to exhibit a persistent and specific pattern of both motor abnormalities and anxiety, obsessional compulsive, or depressive symptoms over time.DiscussionThe form of their neurological and psychiatric abnormalities is consistent with neuropsychiatric research linking motor system abnormalities to emotional disorders. It is recommended that children who present with anxious and depressive symptoms be examined for motor soft signs.J. Am. Acad. Child Adolesc. Psychiatry, 1993, 32,6:1229–1236.
