Abstract

Anxiety disorders are one of the most prevalent categories of childhood and adolescent psychopathology. Due to their distressing, time-consuming, and/or debilitating nature, impairments in academic, social, and family functioning are often substantial. This article reviews the nature, etiology, assessment, and treatment of anxiety disorders in youth. We conclude by reviewing implications for nurses involved in the care of youth with anxiety disorders.
