The Relations Between Sensory Modulation, Hyper Arousability and Psychopathology in Adolescents with Anxiety Disorders.

Background: Sensory modulation may play a significant role in psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, and explain arousability levels, behavioral disorders, and functional deficits. Yet, studies about sensory modulation in adolescents with anxiety disorders are scarce.

Purpose: To profile the prevalence of sensory modulation difficulties (SMDs) in adolescents with anxiety and examine their relations to arousability and psychopathology.

How Self-Regulation and Executive Functions Deficits Affect Quality of Life of Children/Adolescents with Emotional Regulation Disorders.

Background: Deficits in self-regulation and executive functions (EFs) frequently characterize children/adolescents with emotional regulation disorders and restrict their daily function and quality of life (QOL). These deficits are mainly manifested by neuropsychological measures in laboratory settings. This study aimed to compare self-regulation and EFs by ecological measures to reflect the implications in daily life between children with emotional regulation disorders and healthy controls and examine the relations between self-regulation, EFs and QOL in the study group.
