New findings may lead to treatment for anxiety in Rett Syndrome
14th Nov 2006, 19:05 GMT
The classic form of Rett Syndrome shows us a child who is the picture of anxiety: she wrings her hands, hyperventilates, trembles. The progression of the disorder includes loss of acquired skills, speech and mobility. Many girls with Rett display elevated stress hormones. New studies may shed light on whether much of the anxiety of these children is a response to the experience of Rett, or is an intrinsic aspect of the disorder.
