Separation anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and school refusal.
Studies attest to the chronic nature of anxiety in youth. Consequently, there is a growing literature examining causative pathways to these disorders and efficacious treatments for them. This review examines separation anxiety disorder, a commonly occurring childhood anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, a more rare anxiety disorder in youth. Finally, school refusal, which may be tied to an internalizing or externalizing disorder or no disorder at all, is examined.
