Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Evidence showing that infectious diseases in childhood play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of neurodevelopmental and other mental disorders is growing. The aim of this study was to explore the timing of common childhood diseases in early-onset anxiety disorders.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed data from PsyCoLaus, a large Swiss Population Cohort Study (

RESULTS: The timing of viral childhood diseases (chickenpox, measles, and mumps) was consistently delayed in social phobia, notably both in men and women. We found no evidence for a reversed sequence of onset of phobia symptoms before that of the infections included.

CONCLUSION: Social phobia was the only early anxiety disorder to show an association with a delayed onset of common viral childhood diseases.

Keywords: anxiety disorders; childhood diseases; epidemiology; infectious diseases; social phobia
