Like adults, children and teens experience anxiety and can develop anxiety disorders (see Chapter 29 for more information). Some of the disorders tend to be specific to age development. For example, children between the ages of 6 and 9 years may experience a separation anxiety disorder. Generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder are more common in middle childhood and adolescence. Panic disorder also can occur in adolescence. Depression commonly occurs with anxiety among teenagers (ADAA,2003).
