Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 65-4 (April 2024) . - p.413-430 Titre : Annual Research Review: Health anxiety in children and adolescents-developmental aspects and cross-generational influences Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Charlotte Ulrikka RASK, Auteur ; Charlotte Steen DUHOLM, Auteur ; Cecilie Müller POULSEN, Auteur ; Martin Køster RIMVALL, Auteur ; Kristi D. WRIGHT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.413-430 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Health anxiety involves excessive worries about one's health along with beliefs one has an illness or may contract a serious disease. Concerning evidence suggests that health anxiety is on the rise in society, possibly further fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent classification systems acknowledge that impairing health-related worries and beliefs can emerge in early childhood with significant levels of symptoms persisting throughout childhood, and possibly continuous with diagnostic considerations in adulthood. This narrative review summarizes recent research advances in health anxiety in children and adolescents, focusing on various developmental aspects of health anxiety and related concepts in youths. Findings suggest that health anxiety symptoms in young age groups are associated with impairment, distress, and increased healthcare use, as well as substantial comorbidity with mainly other emotional problems and disorders. Furthermore, longitudinal studies suggest that childhood health anxiety can persist across adolescence, perhaps with links to chronic courses in adulthood. The growing literature was further reviewed, thus extending our understanding of early risk factors, including the potential role of exposure to serious illness and transgenerational transmission of health anxiety. Learning more about developmental trajectories will be highly relevant to inform strategies for early detection and prevention. While modified cognitive behavioral therapies in adults are successful in treating health anxiety, specific interventions have not yet been tested in youths. Given substantial overlaps with other psychopathology, it could be important to develop and explore more transdiagnostic and scalable approaches that take advantage of common factors in psychotherapy, while also including a wider perspective on potential familiar maladaptive illness cognitions and behaviors.

Commentary: Mind the blip in the curve when assessing educational attainment in youths - a reflection on Wickersham et al. (2023) / Martin Køster RIMVALL in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 64-11 (November 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 64-11 (November 2023) . - p.1628-1630 Titre : Commentary: Mind the blip in the curve when assessing educational attainment in youths - a reflection on Wickersham et al. (2023) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Martin Køster RIMVALL, Auteur ; Rikke WESSELHOEFT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1628-1630 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Dr. Wickersham et al.'s study linked educational and health records providing important knowledge on educational trajectories in youths with mental disorders. They found that youths diagnosed with depression prior to age 18 were more likely to have a decline in educational attainment over time than youths without depression. Furthermore, educational attainment trajectories showed some specificity with different patterns between youths with depression and youths with neurodevelopmental disorders. In this commentary, we highlight the clinical implications of these findings, showing that low or declining educational attainment in youths might serve as a marker for psychopathology, providing the opportunity to identify youths that could benefit from coordinated interventions across diagnostic boundaries.
