“…Reported anxiety reaches its lifetime peak in adolescence and intense and frequent negative affect also increases abruptly during this period (Abe & Suzuki, 1986; Steinberg, 2005). Neurobiological research suggests that adolescents experience an imbalance in the coupling of their subcortical emotional systems and cortical control regions, which can lead to heightened emotional reactivity especially in those with heightened genetic risk (Casey et al, 2010).…”

Our aim was to characterize the incidence rates and cumulative incidence of anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS), and examine associations among eating disorder diagnoses, suicide attempts, and mortality. Individuals born in Denmark between 1989 and 2006 were included (N=966,141, 51.3% male). Eating disorders diagnoses (AN, Broad AN, BN, EDNOS) were drawn from the Danish Psychiatric Central Research Register (PCRR) and Danish National Patient Register (NPR). Suicide attempts and deaths were captured in the NPR, the PCRR, and the Danish Civil Registration System (CRS). In females, AN had a peak hazard at approximately age 15 years, BN at 22 years, and EDNOS had an extended peak that spanned 18 years to 22 years. Eating disorder diagnoses predicted a significantly higher hazard for death and suicide attempt compared with the referent of individuals with no eating disorders. In males, peak hazard for diagnosis was earlier than in females. The present study represents one of the largest and longest studies of eating disorder incidence and suicide attempts and death in both females and males. Eating disorders are accompanied by increased hazard of suicide attempts and death even in young adults.

“…Adolescence may not only be a period of altered sensitivity to drugs of abuse, it also is a period of heightened levels of anxiety [47]. Studies in humans suggest that anxiety during adolescence may increase the risk for developing nicotine dependence [21,13,11].…”

Approximately 80% of smokers initiate tobacco use during adolescence, suggesting that nicotine initiation and nicotine dependence have a substantial age component. There also is a substantial genetic influence on smoking behaviors such as age of initiation and the development of nicotine dependence. The goal of this study was to examine both genetic background and age dependent effects on oral nicotine self-administration and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Two inbred mouse strains (C3H/Ibg and C57BL/6J) were assessed for oral nicotine preference during early adolescence (postnatal day 24–35), middle adolescence (postnatal day 36–47), late adolescence (postnatal day 48–59), adulthood (postnatal day 60+) and 2 months following their initial exposure to nicotine. Mice also were assessed for innate anxiety using an elevated zero maze to determine if age and/or genetic background influenced anxiety-like behaviors. Results indicated that initial nicotine preference and nicotine preference two months after an initial exposure are both strain and age dependent. Age also had an effect on some baseline anxiety measures but strain differences for most zero maze measures were present throughout all age groups. In general, early adolescent C3H mice exhibited greater nicotine preference while C57 mice displayed greater preference during middle adolescence and upon a second exposure to nicotine. In contrast, C57 mice exhibited reduced anxiety across all ages tested. These studies indicate that genetic background should be considered when evaluating age-dependent effects of drugs of abuse and baseline anxiety-like behaviors.

“…Most recently, YRBS results showed that in the prior year, more than one in four adolescents (27.3%) had experienced significant symptoms of depression for at least two weeks, to the point that it interfered with their everyday functioning (Eaton, et al, 2008). Experiencing frequent negative affect is particularly common during the early adolescent years, more so in females than males (Larson, Moneta, Richards, & Wilson, 2002), and in addition to sad mood, also manifests itself in anxiety (Abe & Suzuki, 1986), self-consciousness, and low self-esteem (Simmons, Rosenberg, & Rosenberg, 1973; Thornburg & Jones, 1982). Feeling sad, depressed, or hopeless may be associated with the heightened rates of affective disorders, attempted and completed suicide, and addiction also observed during adolescence (Pine, Cohen, & Brook, 2001; Silveri, Tzilos, Pimentel, & Yurgelun-Todd, 2004; Steinberg, 2005, Mościcki, 2001).…”

Adolescence is a developmental period that entails substantial changes in affective and incentive-seeking behavior relative to both childhood and adulthood, including a heightened propensity to engage in risky behaviors and experience persistent negative and labile mood states. This review discusses the emotional and incentive-driven behavioral changes in adolescents and their associated neural mechanisms, focusing on the dynamic interactions between the amygdala, ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex. Common behavioral changes during adolescence may be associated with a heightened responsiveness to incentives and emotional cues while the capacity to effectively engage in cognitive and emotion regulation is still relatively immature. We highlight empirical work in humans and animals that addresses the interactions between these neural systems in adolescents relative to children and adults, and propose a neurobiological model that may account for the nonlinear changes in adolescent behavior. Finally, we discuss other influences that may contribute to exaggerated reward and emotion processing associated with adolescence, including hormonal fluctuations and the role of the social environment.
