Family histories of depressed and severely anxious children
R Livingston, H Nugent, L Rader and GR Smith
Of 127 relatives of 12 anxious and 11 depressed children, 72% received
Family History RDC diagnoses, most commonly depression and alcoholism. The
family histories of the two groups were similar, suggesting that childhood
depressive and anxiety disorders may be familially related.
