Treating children with anxiety by using therapy and drugs has been proven to be the best method of successful treatment.
According to researchers, children who are struggling with anxiety related issues such as separation anxiety will be better off if both treated medically and emotionally.
In the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine children were randomly assigned to take a placebo, behavioral therapy, combination of sertraline with behavioral therapy or sertraline by itself.
All study participants were between 7 and 17 years of age.
Researchers noted that the group of children taking the drug plus receiving top notch behavioral therapy, faired the best out of all 4 groups when it came to dealing with their anxiety.
