Background: The link between internalizing psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression, and allergic diseases has attracted a high level of interest from psychiatrists and immunologists. Recent studies have found increased anxiety in children with asthma, but findings in children with food allergy (FA) have been inconsistent. Objective: It was hypothesized that children with FA would score significantly higher on a standardized anxiety screen than general pediatric (GP) patients but not as high as patients with diagnosed anxiety disorders. Methods: A total of 114 patients aged 8 to 16 years (37 with confirmed anxiety disorder from a pediatric psychiatry clinic, 40 with confirmed FA from a pediatric allergy clinic, and 43 well-care patients from a GP clinic) and their mothers completed the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Results: Children and mothers in the allergy group did not report increased levels of anxiety in children on total SCARED scores or subscales compared with children and mothers from the GP group. There was a trend toward increased panic disorder symptoms reported in children by mothers of children in the allergy group, but this finding did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Children with FA did not have increased anxiety; however, there was a trend for mothers of children with allergies to report more symptoms of panic disorder in their children. It remains important to screen families for anxiety-related symptoms and refer them to mental health services when indicated.

In Einzelfall-und nichtkontrollierten Studien [Didden et al., 2006;Sappok et al., 2010;Hennicke, 2011] wurden u.a. für Verhaltenstrainings bei phobischer Vermeidung [Jennett und Hagopian, 2008] und für die psychotherapeutische Behandlung von posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung [Mevissen und de Jongh, 2010;Zeiger et al., 2017] positive Effekte gefunden.

Next, in collaboration with the Department of Pediatrics our integrated mental health care services within pediatric ambulatory settings [5] such as the setting up an outpatient psychiatric consultation clinic within the pediatric clinic.

... The final modification was to first assess how pediatricians and pediatric residents treat mental illness in their respective outpatient clinics in our Academic setting and propose changes to the education experience based on their feedback. To examine this, pediatric attending physicians and pediatric residents completed an anonymous and voluntary investigator-designed online survey hosted by RED Cap as previously reported by our group [6]. Results of the survey indicated that ADHD was identified as the most commonly diagnosed and treated mental illness ( Figure 1); and methylphenidate was the most commonly prescribed medication (Figure 2) among the pediatricians. ...

... 18 Moreover, as they become more engaged in social interactions, FA can have a greater impact on their psychosocial well-being and QoL, raising the demand for tools of QoL evaluation for this age group. 19,20 School-aged children and adolescents, in their pursuit of autonomy and peer relationships, often exhibit poor adherence to FA treatment, heightening the risk of symptom development and further compromising their QoL. 20 The K-FAQLQ-CF and K-FAQLQ-TF can be used as valuable tools for assessing these characteristics and the QoL in Korean children and adolescents with FA. ...

... The real fear factor of life-threatening reactions, the need of constant vigilance and carrying medication at all times, and the potential limitations on social activities represent a source of anxiety for patients and families. 6,8 While quality of life (QoL) studies agrees in affirming that FA affects emotional and social life, 6,9- 13 data available on patients and families' mental health are fragmented and vague. Studies varied widely in their focus, approach, methodologies and measures and lack of a theoretical framework. ...
