abstract="BACKGROUND: Prior research indicated, based on retrospective assessments of symptomatology, that 25% of individuals with &quot;remitted&quot; anxiety disorders (AD)  experience a relapse. The present study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA)  to examine how ADs affect everyday life among community adolescents and young adults  with current or remitted AD compared to healthy controls and to each other. <br><br>METHODS:  Data come from the baseline assessment of the epidemiological Behavior and Mind  Health study, conducted in Dresden (Germany) from 11/2015-12/2016. The sub-sample  analyzed (n = 648, age 14-21) consisted of 65 participants with current DSM-5  AD-diagnosis, 52 participants with lifetime AD-diagnosis but not within the last 6  months (remitted), and 531 healthy controls (no psychopathology; healthy controls  [HC]). EMA of various constructs took place 8 times a day for 4 days. <br><br>RESULTS: The  highest levels of symptoms were reported by those with current AD, followed by  remitted AD and HC. Regression analyses revealed significantly worse mood,  self-efficacy, quality of life and sleep-quality and more experiential avoidance,  stress, negative thoughts and pessimism in remitted and current AD compared to HC. Current AD additional differed significantly from HC in optimism and positive  thoughts. Furthermore, individuals with remitted AD without comorbidities differed  significantly from HC on five out of 16 constructs. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Not only current but  also remitted AD is associated with diverse negative experiences in everyday life,  which cannot merely be explained by comorbidities. As the remaining burden and  impairment in individuals with remitted AD might contribute to relapse,  interventions might be targeted to improve mental health.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
