Exploring volumetric abnormalities in subcortical L-HPA axis structures in pediatric generalized anxiety disorder
CONCLUSION: The BLA, vSC, and MDm are believed to be involved in the regulation of anxiety and stress, both individually and collectively through the excitation and inhibition of the L-HPA axis. All were found to be enlarged in children with GAD, perhaps reflecting hypertrophy related to hyperexcitability, or early neuronal overgrowth. Longitudinal studies should investigate the relationship between these early morphological differences and the long-term subcortical atrophy previously observed.PMID:38573199 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2335980 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Comparing diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder in a diverse sample of trauma ‐exposed youth
AbstractDivergent conceptualization of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.;DSM-5) andInternational Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (11th ed..;ICD-11) significantly confounds both research and practice. Using a diverse sample of trauma-exposed youth (N = 1,542, age range: 8 –20 years), we compared these two diagnostic approaches along with an expanded version of theICD-11 PTSD criteria that included three additional reexperiencing symptoms (ICD-11+). Within the sample, PTSD was more prevalent using theDSM-5 criteri...
