Abstract
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.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
