Abstract

The Word Health Organization has determined that depression and anxiety are the most prevalent chronic disorders (Magalhaes et al., 2010). Anxiety and depression are internalizing disorders. Children and adolescents with internalizing disorders experience worry, fears, shyness, decreased self-esteem, feelings of sadness, and depressive symptoms. Interestingly these feelings and experiences are interrelated in clinical populations, and factor analytic research makes it clear they are closely associated with one another (Ollendick, Shortt, & Sander, 2008). Anxiety disorders often, but not always, precede depressive disorders when a child or teenager experiences both disorders.
