Background Childhood and adolescent anxiety disorders are relatively common, occurring
in between 5-18% of all children and adolescents. They are associated with significant
morbidity and impairment in social and academic functioning, and when persistent, there is
a risk of depression, suicide attempts and substance abuse in adulthood. There is
accumulating evidence for the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), with a
number of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) suggesting benefit.
