Exploring the Relationship Between Asthma, Its Severity and Anxiety Symptoms in Pediatric Patients: A Case-Control Study
CONCLUSION: This study highlights a significant association between asthma and heightened anxiety symptoms in children, particularly in domains such as separation anxiety, social phobia, agoraphobia, and fears related to physical injury. However, limitations include reliance on self-evaluation questionnaires and the observational nature of the study, emphasizing the need for cautious interpretation.PMID:38009701 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2289158 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

A transdiagnostic, dimensional classification of anxiety shows improved parsimony and predictive noninferiority to DSM.
Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, Vol 132(8), Nov 2023, 937-948; doi:10.1037/abn0000863The current conceptualization of anxiety in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)—which includes 11 anxiety disorders plus additional anxiety-related conditions—does not align with accumulating evidence that anxiety is transdiagnostic and dimensional in nature.

Measures of Anxiety Disorder Symptoms in Adolescents
This study examines select psychometric properties (i.e., internal reliability, and factorial, convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity) of three commonly-used measures of anxiety disorder symptoms in adolescents in the context of multi-trait, multi-method matrix analyses. A sample of 331 adolescents (age M = 17.1; 75.3% white; 71.0% female) completed three self-report scales that assess symptoms of separation anxiety, social anxiety, panic, and generalized anxiety, as well as measures of depression, experiential avoidance, and intolerance of uncertainty. Measures of panic disorder symptoms showed poor factorial, c...

Asthma and Anxiety in Children and Adolescents: Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes
Conclusions: Treatment was comparably effective for youth with comorbid asthma and anxiety and youth with anxiety. Future research could examine the effects of psychopharmaceuticals on asthma and anxiety comorbidity.PMID:37930754 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2280906 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Do general and specific factors of preschool psychopathology predict preadolescent outcomes? A transdiagnostic hierarchical approach
CONCLUSIONS: Both general and specific dimensions of preschool psychopathology are useful for predicting clinical and functional outcomes almost a decade later. These findings highlight the value of transdiagnostic dimensions for predicting prognosis and as potential targets for early intervention and prevention.PMID:37795688 | DOI:10.1017/S003329172200246X (Source: Psychological Medicine)
