[Adaptol in the treatment of anxiety disorders in children with school maladaptation].

Abstract

We examined 336 children, aged 7-14 years, with signs of school maladaptation (SM). Anxiety disorders were found in 167 (49.7%), including generalized anxiety disorder - 87 children (25.9%), phobic disorder - 40 children (11.3%), anxiety disorder - 14 (4.2%), social anxiety disorder - 26 (7.7%). These indices differed significantly from those in the comparison group of children without SM. The children with generalized anxiety disorder were treated with adaptol (1000 mg/d during 30 days). The clinical and psychological examination revealed the high efficacy of this drug. Adaptol was well-tolerated, with no side-effects observed.
