The aim of this article was to examine the course and outcome of anxiety disorders in German adolescents. Anxiety and other psychiatric disorders were coded based on DSM-IV criteria using the computerized Munich version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. About 22.6% of the adolescents who fulfilled DSM-IV criteria of any current anxiety disorders at the index investigation (T1) continued to have anxiety at the follow-up investigation (T2), 17.7% had depression, 27.4% somatoform, 6.5% substance use disorders, and 41.9% had no disorders. The factors that were significantly associated with the persistence of anxiety disorders included older age, presence of somatoform and substance use disorders, as well as a high number of negative life events at the T1-interview. Adolescents with “chronic” compared to “transcient” anxiety disorders and those without any disorders were significantly more impaired in various life domains. Despite these high levels of psychosocial impairment, only a few of them did seek professional help in the last 12 months before the T2-interview.
