The aim of the current study was to examine trends in anxiety disorder publication over the past 25 years, and to project likely future trends from these. Medline searches were used to find a representative sample of the total number of journal articles published each year from 1980 to 2005 that were focused on each particular anxiety disorder. Results demonstrated that anxiety disorder research continued to grow over the 25-year period examined. Growth was particularly strong for OCD and PTSD, with strong research growth in panic disorder also in the 1980s. Only specific phobia and agoraphobia did not grow in research output over the review period. Growth is projected to continue over the next 10 years.
本研究的目的是调查过去25年中焦虑症出版物的趋势，并据此预测未来可能的趋势。通过医学文献数据库检索，找出1980年至2005年每年发表的专注于每种特定焦虑症的期刊文章总数的代表性样本。结果表明，在所研究的25年期间，焦虑症研究持续增长。强迫症和创伤后应激障碍的增长尤为强劲，恐慌症在20世纪80年代的研究也有强劲增长。在审查期间，只有特定恐惧症和广场恐惧症的研究产出没有增长。预计在未来10年这种增长仍将持续。
