Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and Development of Psychiatric Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence
TL;DR: The risk of having at least 1 psychiatric disorder by age 16 years is much higher than point estimates would suggest and concurrent comorbidity and homotypic and heterotypic continuity are more marked in girls than in boys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Barbara J. Burns,Elizabeth J. Costello,Adrian Angold,Dan L. Tweed,Dalene Stangl,Elizabeth M. Z. Farmer,Alaattin Erkanli +6 more
TL;DR: The results show somewhat higher rates of mental health service use than has been reported previously, while continuing to show a substantial amount of unmet need, even among children with both a psychiatric diagnosis and functional impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Great Smoky Mountains Study of Youth. Goals, design, methods, and the prevalence of DSM-III-R disorders.
Elizabeth J. Costello,Adrian Angold,Barbara J. Burns,Dalene Stangl,Dan L. Tweed,Alaattin Erkanli,Carol M. Worthman +6 more
TL;DR: Poverty was the strongest demographic correlate of diagnosis, in both urban and rural children, in this rural sample of children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there an epidemic of child or adolescent depression
TL;DR: There is no evidence for an increased prevalence of child or adolescent depression over the past 30 years when concurrent assessment rather than retrospective recall is used and public perception of an 'epidemic' may arise from heightened awareness of a disorder that was long under-diagnosed by clinicians.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do childhood anxiety disorders predict
TL;DR: It appears that children meriting a well-defined diagnosis of GAD are missed by the current rules for the diagnosis of OAD, and future studies should examine whether OAD deserves reconsideration as a nosological entity.
