Anxious Short Children

In an article I found on psychologytoday.com, I learned that children that suffering from social phobias and panic disorders can be traced back to an issue that results from stunt growth, In the article the researchers found that adults suffering from panic disorders, "produced less growth hormone than normal controls when given substances that stimulate hormone release (caffeine is one)." When children experience anxiety they are shorter than average size, and are being treated with a growth hormone, great improvements in their emotional state and physical state are found.  http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199501/coming-short
