This chapter describes the prevalence, onset, course, persistence, comorbidity, and outcome, as well as correlates and risk factors of anxiety disorders, namely separation anxiety disorder, specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. The focus is laid upon the early years of life (childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood), given that most anxiety disorders have their onset at this time, typically persisting over the life course, and thus representing powerful risk factors for the onset of subsequent mental disorders such as depression and substance use disorders. Despite progress, continued research efforts are needed towards identifying which vulnerability and risk factors play a causal role for the onset and persistence of pathological anxiety. An improved understanding of the complex underlying biological and psychological mechanisms and interactions is crucial to facilitate more effective targeted prevention research and treatment.

Aims:We aimed to study the prevalence of anxiety disorders with the comorbidity of depressive disorders and the effects of risk factors among the patients attending the general Geriatric Psychiatry Outpatient Unit.Methods:Subjects were evaluated in terms of Anxiety Disorders on the basis of DSM criteria, SCID. Each patient was asked to fill out Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scale, Beck Anxiety and Depression Scale. Sociodemographic features and risk factors were assesed the prepared questionnaire.Results:In a number of total 1209 applicants in 12 months, we found the prevalance of anxiety disorders was %9,48 with a number of 115 patients in outpatient department applications and the prevalence of Generalized Anxiety Disorder was found out to be %4,63(n:56), Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia %1,98(n:24), without Agoraphobia %0,90(n:11), the prevalence of OCD was %0,82(n:10), PTSD %0,49(n:6) and other anxiety disorders (SAD, SP, NOS) was %0,66(n:8).In the patients with anxiety disorders, the prevalence of depression comorbidity was found out to be %73,05(n:84), with the prevalence of the comorbid major depressive disorder %26,1(n:31), and the dysthymic/minor depressive disorder was %46,95(n:53). As a result of statistical analysis,we found that the risk factors associated with STAI-I and II scores were total years spent on education, but in reverse manners, as the education level increased, the STAI-I and II scores decreased.Conclusions:Anxiety disorders with comorbid depression might be frequent disorders among Turkish secondary care attenders. There is a need for further studies on the epidemiology of anxiety disorders and their comorbidity with depression among elderly in Turkey.

BackgroundPsychiatric disorders commonly emerge during the first year following traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, it is not clear whether these disorders soon remit or persist for long periods post-injury. This study aimed to examine, prospectively: (1) the frequency, (2) patterns of co-morbidity, (3) trajectory, and (4) risk factors for psychiatric disorders during the first 5 years following TBI.MethodParticipants were 161 individuals (78.3% male) with moderate (31.2%) or severe (68.8%) TBI. Psychiatric disorders were diagnosed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, administered soon after injury and 3, 6 and 12 months, and 2, 3, 4 and 5 years post-injury. Disorder frequencies and generalized estimating equations were used to identify temporal relationships and risk factors.ResultsIn the first 5 years post-injury, 75.2% received a psychiatric diagnosis, commonly emerging within the first year (77.7%). Anxiety, mood and substance-use disorders were the most common diagnostic classes, often presenting co-morbidly. Many (56.5%) experienced a novel diagnostic class not present prior to injury. Disorder frequency ranged between 61.8 and 35.6% over time, decreasing by 27% [odds ratio (OR) 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.65–0.83] with each year post-injury. Anxiety disorders declined significantly over time (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.63–0.84), whilst mood and substance-use disorder rates remained stable. The strongest predictors of post-injury disorder were pre-injury disorder (OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.41–4.25) and accident-related limb injury (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.03–3.07).ConclusionsFindings suggest the first year post-injury is a critical period for the emergence of psychiatric disorders. Disorder frequency declines thereafter, with anxiety disorders showing greater resolution than mood and substance-use disorders.
