One useful page from this website is the Childhood Anxiety Disorders page, which
provides a brief explanation of each disorder and links for each disorder that provide
much more in-depth information. I will use this page to discuss some of the most
common anxiety disorders in children, what the signs and symptoms are, and how they
are treated. Another useful page on this website is the Older Adults page, which shows
some common anxiety disorders in adults, how to recognize them, and how to treat them.
While this source does not follow specific people and how their anxiety transforms, it
does provide information about common occurrences in children as well as in adults.
Therefore, I can make inferences about what happens throughout that transition. This
website is also useful for medication information, as it provides facts about what children
and what adults tend to use.

This webpage provides extensive information about anxiety in general. It goes over
various disorders, including panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and specific
phobias. It also includes treatment for anxiety disorders, which I find very useful. I will
use this source to assist me in writing about the background of anxiety at the beginning of
my paper, as it gives me basically all of the information I need in one place.

This article shows a longitudinal experiment that was conducted over a 45 year period.
The experimenters assessed if childhood psychological ill health impacts early adulthood
psychological ill health and midlife psychological ill health. The experimenters also
tested to see if there are gender differences with these associations. The conclusions were
that childhood psychological ill health increases the risk of early adulthood psychological
ill health, and early adulthood psychological ill health increases the risk for that in
midlife. Additionally, men tend to be at higher risk for these correlations. This study is
useful because it accounts for an extensive period of time, which truly shows the
implications of childhood anxiety throughout a large portion of adulthood. I plan to use
this study to reinforce my thesis that childhood anxiety increases risk for adulthood
anxiety.
Guerry, J., Prinstein M., Meter, A., & Southam-Gerow, M. (2014). What is CBT for youth
This article provides more general information about anxiety, but it also occasionally
gives some information about the differences and similarities between anxiety in
childhood and adulthood. At this point I have plenty of information about anxiety in
general, so I will be using this article for its information about the childhood and
adulthood. This article includes that signs and symptoms of anxiety in children and adults
are quite similar and that untreated anxiety can lead to issues in adulthood.

This source provides an experiment that was conducted in order to test if there is a
correlation between childhood anxiety and social phobia in adults. The study proved that
there was a correlation, as adults who struggled with social phobia often experienced
anxiety as children. This study is useful to me because I will be looking at a few common
anxiety-related disorders, and phobias are one of them. I will use the findings from this
experiment to show that childhood anxiety can lead to anxiety-related disorders, such as
social phobias.

This is another source that provides in-depth information about anxiety. This website
includes physical effects of anxiety, which is something that other sources have not
included. This is especially useful to me because I plan on comparing and contrasting the
physical effects of anxiety in children and adults. Overall, I will use this source to help
me explain anxiety and anxiety-related disorders.

This article shows a longitudinal experiment that was conducted to test the correlation
between anxiety and depressive disorders in adolescents and in adulthood. The
experimenters found that there is a correlation between the two, and adolescents with
these disorders are at a much higher risk for them in the future. This study was conducted
by several doctors, which makes the results reliable. Additionally, this was a longitudinal
study, which truly shows how the subjects mental health developed over time. This study
is very useful because it directly addresses my essential question. This study is very
useful because it directly addresses my essential question, and I will use this study to help
prove the correlation between anxiety in childhood and later in adulthood.

This article has a section about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in children and adults
and how the two compare and contrast. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a disorder that
is categorized under anxiety, so this article gives some more specific information about
my overall topic. The authors wrote about differing medications for children and adults,
as well as differing signs and symptoms and explanations for why that is. This article was
written by two doctors, so it is a reliable source. I will use this article to provide some
specific information about my topic, as I plan to delve into some anxiety-related disorders
in my paper and how they appear in children and adults.
