Dear Colleagues,
According to the NIMH, anxiety disorders affect an estimated 13
percent of children and adolescents during any given six-month
period of time. The NIMH recently announced the results of a study
that found a medication to be more than twice as effective as a
placebo in treating anxiety in children and adolescents. Today's newsletter
focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders in
both children and adults.

8. NATIONAL CENTER FOR PTSD
Anger and Trauma
Anger helps people cope with life's adversities by providing us with increased energy to persist in the face of obstacles. However, uncontrolled anger can lead to a continued sense of being out of control of oneself and can create multiple problems in the personal lives of those who suffer from PTSD.
