The article is devoted to the study of nocturnal enuresis and frequency of comorbid anxiety disorders in children with this disease. The authors present the results of a survey of 70 children aged 7 to 10 years with primary enuresis. In the study, anxiety disorders were found in 44 children with this pathology (62.9 %). Analysis of the identified symptoms showed that more of the study group are generalized anxiety disorder (31.8 %) and phobic anxiety disorder (40.9 %).

AbstractObjectiveAnxiety disorders are highly prevalent in population of European countries. However, the effect of Valproate (depakine-chrono) on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has not been studied in a double-blind placebo-controlled design.MethodEighty patients (all men) were washout from the all medications. Each patient was randomized to receive either depakine-chrono (40 patients) for 6 weeks or matched placebo (40 patients) in a double-blind manner. Eligible participants, in addition to meeting the DSM-IV criteria for GAD and having a minimum score of 25 and more on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, were required to be between 18 and 65 years. Response was defined as a 50% reduction in the Hamilton anxiety scale score. Response and side effects with depakine-chrono and placebo were compared by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and chi-square tests. Six patients did not return for at least one subsequent assessment, leaving 74 patients (36 taking depakine-chrono and 38 taking placebo) in the valuables study group.ResultsTwenty six of the 36 depakine-chrono-treated participants responded by 6 weeks, versus six of the 38 placebo-treated participants (p < 0.001). The most common and problematic side effect in the depakine-chrono group was dizziness and nausea.ConclusionsThe authors believe this to be the first double-blind placebo-controlled randomization study to test the efficacy of a depakine-chrono in the management of anxiety disorders. They need to be replicated in a larger study group.

Abstract Objective: This study aims to investigate whether anxiety disorders in adolescents have a link with the separation time of bed/bedroom sharing with parents. It also aims to raise awareness in society about the issue of minimizing anxiety disorders in childhood. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Şevket Yılmaz Training and Research Hospital between June 2013 and May 2014. The participants included 51 adolescents who were diagnosed as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with no-comorbidity and 71 healthy adolescents as the control group, who were chosen randomly. Diagnosis of GAD was based on the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed) by child and adolescent psychiatry doctors. The Turkish version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used for the control group. A special survey about demographics and bed-sharing statements was constructed for the purpose of the study. The groups were analyzed in terms of duration of co-sleeping (bed-sharing) and rooming-in (keeping the mother and the baby in same room) with parents during infancy and the development of anxiety disorders in later period. Results: Mean duration of rooming-in was significantly longer in the case group than in the control group (p=0.009). Similarly, mean duration of co-sleeping in the case group was longer than that of the control group. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.529). Conclusion: Sleeping in the same room with children for a long time may result in anxiety disorders in later period due to possible difficulties in bonding and/or less self-confidence.

Background: Migraine and anxiety are common neuro-psychiatric disorders in clinical practice, sharing symptoms and epidemiological factors among themselves. The presence of both pathologies in the same individual is frequently reported in the literature. Objectives: To report the clinical and epidemiological correlations established between generalized anxiety disorder and migraine. Methodology: Systematic review of studies published between 2016 and 2021, exploring the association between generalized anxiety disorders and Migraine. The descriptors “association”, “Migraines” and “Generalized Anxiety Disorder” were used in the LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED databases. Fourteen articles were selected, mostly dealing with epidemiological studies. Results: Evidence suggests that these pathologies are associated and share common symptoms, pathophysiology and epidemiological factors. Studies corroborate that anxiety and painful sensation are more strongly associated with migraine than with other psychiatric illnesses. It has also demonstrated some characteristics of patients who are predisposed to develop both comorbidities such as smoke, low income and a history of other previous diseases. Common triggering factors such as pain, sleep disorders and stress can also contribute to the association between pathologies. Conclusions: Based on the studies analyzed in full, the high prevalence of both diseases in the same individual highlights the importance of research on the cause and consequence relationship between Anxiety and Migraine, since this is not yet clarified in the medical literature. In addition, paying attention to migraine correlation to generalized anxiety disorder increases the quality of life of the patient in the short and long term, as well as help in the choice of better treatments.

It is commonly believed in Japan that only psychiatrists are capable of providing reliable psychiatric diagnosis. The present study, therefore, examined using a case vignette design, how well Japanese psychology students agreed with a psychiatrist on the diagnoses of mood disorders (major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder) and anxiety disorders (panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder). The results suggest that appropriately trained Japanese psychology students can apply reliably the diagnostic criteria for these disorders, except for generalized anxiety disorder. It appeared that the students did not identify symptoms of restlessness and nervous tension, which may explain the relatively low reliability of the diagnosis for generalized anxiety disorder. The cross-cultural variation in the experience of anxiety is suggested as an explanation. The present study argues that it is feasible that Japanese nonmedical mental health professionals become familiar with the psychiatric diagnoses.
