Background: Nocturnal enuresis, often called bedwetting or sleep wetting, is a common problem in children after the age of five and may lead to symptoms such as infection, incontinence and frequent urination. This problem refers to a state in which children after the age of five have no control of their urine for six continuous months and it cannot be attributed to any organic factors or drug use.
Objectives: In this study we aimed to study generalized anxiety disorder as one of the possible causes of primary nocturnal enuresis.
