Abstract

The primary aim of this review was to investigate the current prevalence of anxiety and depression in youth. A secondary aim was to identify main themes that underpinned anxiety and depression in Pacific youth. Depression is more common in all disease’s groups than in the eneral population anxiety is more familiar in people with heart disease, stroke andcancer than in the general population. We have discussed the connection between anxiety and physiological and psychological functioning or its connection with the areas of family, religion, social life and behaviors, as well as the cultural side, childhood, pregnancy and many others. A range of psychological and behavioral treatments are also affected in improving mood in patients with cancer and arthritis but, again the number of studies is small.

Keywords: Anxiety, Pregnancy, Childhood, Social life.
