A study published in the April issue of Biological Psychiatry shows the increased incidence of anxiety disorders and PTSD among children who lost a parent in 9.11. Youngsters were followed at six month intervals, some starting four months after 9.11, and the group of bereaved children (n=45) showed twice the rates of generalized anxiety and separation anxiety than non-bereaved children (n=34).
