“…Both AIP and AIP + FAM alleviated adolescents' overall symptoms of depression, especially in the areas of negative mood, interpersonal problems, anhedonia, and negative self-esteem. The current study provides further support to a growing body of work suggesting that CBT provides broadened benefits beyond anxiety in the treatment of anxiety disorders (Davis et al 2010; Ehrenreich-May and Bilek 2012; Gallo et al 2012). It also supports previous studies which have found that treatment for PD reduces symptoms of depression (Pincus et al 2010).…”

The present study investigated whether an 8-day intensive treatment for panic disorder in adolescents conferred a corollary benefit of ameliorating symptoms of depression. Participants included 57 adolescents between the ages of 11 and 18 who were randomly assigned to an intensive panic treatment for adolescents with or without parental involvement. Paired samples t tests and hierarchical linear models (HLM) indicated that participants' total depression score and scores on depression subscales declined from baseline to the 3-month follow-up. Additional HLM analyses indicated that the interaction term between age and parent involvement was a significant moderator in the negative slope for adolescent depression, with younger participants benefitting more from treatment without parent involvement than older participants with regard to depression symptoms.

“…The field has moved toward the development of promising transdiagnostic treatments for youth anxiety and depression (e.g., Craske 2012; Ehrenreich-May and Bilek 2012). Transdiagnostic treatments may offer a number of benefits over disorder-specific approaches, including the potential to better address comorbidity in youth and a consolidation of resources for clinicians in real world settings.…”

Testing Specificity: Associations of Stress and Coping with Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression in Youth

Research has documented the co-occurrence of symptoms of anxiety and depression across the lifespan, suggesting that these symptoms share common correlates and etiology. The present study aimed to examine potential specific and/or transdiagnostic correlates of symptoms of anxiety and depression in at-risk youth. The present study examined youth stress associated with parental depression and youth coping as potential correlates of symptoms of anxiety and depression in a sample of children of depressed parents. One hundred eighty parents with a history of depression and their children ages 9–15 completed measures assessing youths’ stress associated with parental depression (RSQ), symptoms of anxiety and depression (YSR and CBCL), and coping (RSQ). The results support the hypothesis that secondary control coping is a transdiagnostic correlate of symptoms of anxiety and depression in youth. Youth stress related to parental depression and primary control coping were specific correlates of youth depressive symptoms and not anxiety symptoms. Disengagement coping was not a significant correlate of symptoms of anxiety or depression in youth. Results suggest that there are both transdiagnostic and specific correlates of symptoms of anxiety and depression in youth. The current study provides evidence to suggest specific types of stress and strategies to cope with this stress demonstrate specificity to symptoms of anxiety and depression in high-risk offspring of depressed parents. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the relationship between stress, coping, and symptoms to inform prevention and treatment research.

“…Ehrenreich-May and Bilek (2012) provide a review of the research and background supporting a unified approach to treating emotional disorders in adults and adolescents, a review that will not be repeated here. In short, a unified, or transdiagnostic, approach may represent a more efficient, and possibly more efficacious, way to ameliorate overlapping emotional disorder symptomatology (comorbidity), in addition to facilitating effective dissemination of empirically supported treatments to practicing clinicians (Allen, Ehrenreich, & Barlow, 2005).…”

Chronic pain disorders represent a significant public health concern, particularly for children and adolescents. High rates of comorbid anxiety and unipolar mood disorders often complicate psychological interventions for chronic pain. Unified treatment approaches, based on emotion regulation skills, are applicable to a broad range of emotional disorders and suggest the possibility of extending these interventions to chronic pain and pain-related dysfunction. This case report describes the use of a unified protocol for treatment of an adolescent boy with chronic daily headache and social anxiety and an adolescent girl with whole body pain and depression. Following weekly, 50-minute individual treatment sessions, the boy demonstrated notable improvement in emotional symptoms, emotion regulation skills, somatization, and functional disability. The girl showed some improvement on measures of anxiety and depression, although there appeared to be a worsening of pain symptoms and somatization. However, both patients demonstrated improvement over follow-up. This case study illustrates the potential utility of a unified treatment approach targeting pain and emotional symptoms from an emotion regulation perspective in an adolescent population.
