Identifying anxiety disorders in adolescents hospitalized for alcohol abuse or dependence.
In structured clinical interviews of 43 adolescents hospitalized for alcohol abuse or dependence, 17 subjects met criteria for an anxiety disorder, with social phobia (N = 9) and posttraumatic stress disorder (N = 7) most common. Of these 17 subjects, only four were identified in hospital records as having an anxiety disorder. In a comparison of 30 hospitalized adolescents with a matched control group of 30 adolescents from the community, the hospitalized adolescents had a higher rate of anxiety disorders, psychoactive substance use disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, and mood disorders.
