Results: At least one diagnosis of anxiety disorders was detected in 1,910 of them (7.6%). All of 51.7% of them (n=988) were girls, 50.9% of all (n=972) were adolescents (12 years and above). Not otherwise specified-anxiety disorder (NOS-AD; 36.5%, n=697), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD; 29%, n=554) and social phobic disorder (SPD; 9.7%, n=185) were frequently found types of anxiety disorders. Girls' GAD (p=0.014) and SPD (p=0.027) distribution; boys' separation anxiety disorder (SAD; p=0.045) and specific phobia (SP; p=0.009) distribution; adolescents' GAD (p<0,001) and SPD (p<0,001), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; p<0,001) and panic disorder (PD; p<0,001); children's NOS-AD (p<0,001), SAD (p<0,001) and SP (p=0.009) distributions were found as significant. 62.9% of cases (n=1202) were treated by selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI; and being adolescent, the presence of NOS-AD, OCD and GAD has been found as predictors of giving pharmacotherapy (for all four variables p<0,001).
