Abstract

Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in children and adolescents and GPs play an important role in identifying and initiating management of such patients. Clinical presentations and the extent of anxiety can be successfully measured using reliable validated questionnaires, such as the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale. Cognitive behavioural therapy is the first-line treatment, with the goal of remission and functional improvement.
