More anxious or more shy? Examining the social anxiety levels of adolescents with primary enuresis nocturna: a controlled study

Enuresis nocturna (EN) is very common worldwide, and psychiatric disorders are 1.3 –4.5 times higher in children with EN. When the authors focus on symptoms of individuals with EN, they figured out that the individuals were impaired in social and emotional skills because of the dramatic consequences of EN. The authors presume that, despite a lack of psychiatric comorbidity, prim ary enuresis nocturna (PEN) itself and its consequences may increase adolescents' social anxiety (SA), leading to adulthood mental diseases.
