Cortisol and anxiety data were collected eight months apart. Results indicated that there were significant correlations between each pair of measures from the two occasions, suggesting that cortisol concentrations and anxiety did not vary much at all over that time, challenging the assumption that cortisol needs to be measured over multiple days to obtain reliable data from children with an ASD.

Objective: This report examines the relationship of borderline personality disorder (BPD) to DSM-IV anxiety disorders using data on the reciprocal effects of improvement or worsening of BPD and anxiety disorders over the course of 10 years.
Method: We reliably and prospectively assessed borderline patients (N= 164) with DSM-IV-defined co-occurring generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; N= 42), panic with agoraphobia (PWA; N= 39), panic without agoraphobia (PWOA; N= 36), social phobia (N= 48), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; N= 36), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; N= 88) annually over a period of 10 years between 1997 and 2009. We used proportional hazards regression analyses …
