Abstract
Objective: To examine the comorbidity phenomenon of anxiety and depression symptoms in children. Methodology: Review of available articles in the PsycINFO data bases and in the University Autonomous of Barcelona data bases using as key words: anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms and comorbidity. Results: Anxiety and depression symptoms have a high prevalence in childhood. Some children, without fulfilling all criteria for diagnosing psychological disorders, report symptoms that cause impairment at school, at home or with friends. Frequently, both groups of symptoms are found comorbid in the same individual produccing difficulties in the treatment process. Approximately, for the last twenty years, studies about the comorbidity phenomenon between psychological disorders, such as, anxiety and depression have been carried out. The results of this research work support the possibility of a new mixed anxiety/depression disorder with worse health consequences. This opens new possibilities for research about the study of disorders and symptoms in childhood, which will be extended in this work.
