Abstract:
Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, with many youths experiencing functional impairment in multiple domains because of these conditions. Biologic and cognitive-behavioral models provide a basis for the development and maintenance of these disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposures and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors are empirically supported treatments for childhood anxiety disorders. Exposures are a key component of CBT treatment and a case vignette demonstrates how to tailor exposures to the unique fears of the child.
