Abstract:
From the epidemiological evidence, anxiety disorders appear frequent in childhood and adolescence. Because anxiety has normal adaptative forms through development, the identification of pathology may sometimes pose difficulty. Child and adolescent anxiety disorders are defined in modern classifications with diagnostic criteria nearby of those used for adulthood. Behavioural symptoms of anxiety often alert relatives or teachers of the children. This paper reviews the main behavioural signs found in anxiety disorders (shyness, school refusal, sleep disorders, somatic distress, slowness, domestic tyranny).
