Cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety disorders in children and adolescents

TL;DR: CBT was no more effective than non-CBT active control treatments or TAU in reducing anxiety diagnoses and the few controlled follow-up studies indicate that treatment gains in the remission of anxiety diagnosis are not statistically significant.

Sex differences in anxiety and depression clinical perspectives

TL;DR: Clinical aspects of sex differences in affective disorders including the emergence ofsex differences across developmental stages and the impact of reproductive events are focused on.

Early developmental emergence of human amygdala-prefrontal connectivity after maternal deprivation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, as in the rodent, children who experienced early maternal deprivation exhibit early emergence of mature amygdala–prefrontal connectivity, suggesting that accelerated amygdala–mPFC development is an ontogenetic adaptation in response to early adversity.

Comorbidity of Anxiety and Depression in Children and Adolescents: 20 Years After

TL;DR: A multiple pathways model to anxiety-depression comorbidity is proposed and addressed, addressing descriptive and developmental factors, gender differences, suicidality, assessments, and treatment-outcome research as they relate toComorbid anxiety and depression and to the proposed pathways.

A Developmental Shift from Positive to Negative Connectivity in Human Amygdala-Prefrontal Circuitry

TL;DR: Results suggest positive amygdala–prefrontal connectivity in early childhood that switches to negative functional connectivity during the transition to adolescence, and initial positive connectivity followed by a valence shift to negative connectivity provides a neurobiological basis for regulatory development.

Lifetime Prevalence and Age-of-Onset Distributions of DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication

TL;DR: Lifetime prevalence estimates are higher in recent cohorts than in earlier cohorts and have fairly stable intercohort differences across the life course that vary in substantively plausible ways among sociodemographic subgroups.

Prevalence, Severity, and Comorbidity of 12-Month DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication

TL;DR: Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a relatively small proportion of cases with high comorbidity, as shown in the recently completed US National Comorbidities Survey Replication.

Emotion Circuits in the Brain

TL;DR: The field of neuroscience has, after a long period of looking the other way, again embraced emotion as an important research area, and much of the progress has come from studies of fear, and especially fear conditioning as mentioned in this paper.

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.
