Abstract

The main aim of the present study was to examine the frequency and correlates of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Anxiety and depressive symptoms were evaluated by means of the Revised Ontario Health Study Scales. The probands were 215 adolescents aged 11 to 19 years. An important finding was the high rates of suicidal thought in the 11-12 year old boys (23.1%) and the 17-19 year girls (26.7%). Our result also showed a significant correlation between depressive symptoms and doctor's visit and critical life events. The implication of the results for clinical practice and research were discussed.
