In this study, we sought to identify the prevalence of anxious depression in a youth sample and to investigate the clinical correlates of anxious depression. Of youth in our baseline sample with depression diagnoses, 59.5% were identified as having anxious depression. Youth with anxious depression had increased depression symptom severity, anxiety symptom severity, suicidality, and rates of comorbid anxiety disorders compared to youth with non-anxious depression. Greater impairments in physical and social functioning were also measured in those with anxious depression. Given the clinical features associated with anxious depression in youth, this study demonstrates the utility of anxious depression as a diagnostic subtype of depression, in addition to demonstrating its high prevalence in youth.\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAyvaci, E.

Exposure to these traumatic experiences is known to be linked to adverse mental and physical health outcomes. This study investigated the nature of the relationship between trauma exposure and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. To study the dose-response nature of traumatic experiences, the sample was divided into four groups: No Traumatic Exposure Categories (No TEC), 1 TEC, 2-3 TEC, and 4 or more TEC. Using PHQ-A to measure depression and GAD-7 to measure anxiety, the investigators found that the depression scores were lower in the No TEC group than in the 2-3 TEC and the \u22654 TEC groups, with cis-gendered participants having significantly lower scores than their trans\/non-binary counterparts. Similarly, significantly lower anxiety scores were found in the No TEC group compared to the other groups. In the role of suicidality, measured by CHRT-SR, only specific trauma types were significantly different from the no-trauma group, suggesting that these trauma types may be unique predictors of suicidal risk. It is important to continue investigating the role of trauma in suicidal youth to potentially develop new treatment protocols. \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGoodman, L. C., Elmore, J. S., Mayes, T.

To ensure accurate assessment of and intervention for youth anxiety, it is critical that clinicians have access to valid anxiety measurement tools. The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) is a frequently used measure to address anxiety, but its use has not been validated for diverse populations. To determine the validity of the SCARED for a wider range of youth, the measure was assessed in distinct groups based on age, sex, and ethnicity in TX-YDSRN youth. SCARED measurement performance was consistent across groups upon test. Younger children and females tended to endorse higher levels of anxiety compared to older children and males, respectively. These findings support the use of SCARED in more diverse populations of youth based on age, sex, and ethnicity, expanding clinicians\u0027 ability to measure youth anxiety.\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ESilva, T., Spencer, S.

Confirmatory factor analysis supported a scale with 12 items in this population, dropping the mania items from the scale. Correlations to symptom-specific items on other validated instruments such as the PHQ-A, GAD-7, IDS-SR, CHRT, PROMIS, and SCARED showed the CAST-12 to be a valid scale for measuring these symptoms in those aged 8-20 years.

This combination is usually associated with more severe symptoms creating a need for clinically sound tools for measuring anxiety. This study assessed two such tools: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Anxiety-4a. While both of these scales have been tested in adults and showed promise in adolescent populations, they have been minimally tested in large clinical samples and have not been studied specifically within depressed and\/or suicidal youth. Statistical analyses showed that both the GAD-7 and PROMIS-Anxiety-4a had high internal consistency and good test-retest reliability. Additionally, when compared to other well-established measures of anxiety, they showed appropriate convergent and divergent validity.
