This paper reviews the recent literature on the role that parenting has in the development of youth anxiety. Research indicates that certain parenting behaviors may be risk factors for youth anxiety problems. Three dimensions of parenting are examined as potential risk factors for youth anxiety: negative parenting behaviors (i.e. control and rejection), anxious rearing, and poor parental discip...

Different factors have been related with interictal anxiety, reported in 10%-25% of patients with epilepsy. We determined the frequency of interictal anxiety in 196 patients with active epilepsy in a cross-sectional survey to know which symptoms of anxiety were most frequently reported in patients with epilepsy and to analyze the factors associated with their presence. Patients were assessed wi...
