SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A newly published study in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry titled 'A biomarker discovery framework for childhood anxiety' suggests that latent factors extracted from electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings in childhood are promising candidate biomarkers for anxiety disorders and for externalizing disorders. This study found that appropriate age was important - with accuracy improving up to seven years of age for anxiety and three to five years of age for externalizing disorders (primarily ADHD).
