Abstract :The study aims to investigate the relationship among psychiatric diagnosis, parental reported problems, and the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child Version (RCADS-CV) results of children. The sample of the study consisted of 78 children and adolescents (36 girls and 42 boys), and statistical analyses were made using the chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Relationships identified between the following pairs: worry problems with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), distraction problems with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), hyperactivity problems with Tic and Tourette\\\'s Syndrome, obsession problems with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), unhappiness with Major Depressive Disorder or dysthymia, and avoidance of communication with autism spectrum disorder. Furthermore, when examining the relationship between psychiatric diagnoses and diagnoses according to the RCADS-CV, we found other connections, such as the psychiatric diagnosis of separation anxiety and RCADS-CV separation anxiety, as well as the psychiatric diagnosis of separation anxiety and RCADS-CV social phobia. Lastly, when investigating the relationship between parentally reported problems and RCADS-CV diagnoses, several associations emerged, including the connection between obsession problems and RCADS-CV OCD diagnosis, relationship problems and RCADS-CV’s OCD diagnosis, unhappiness problems, and RCADS-CV’s depression diagnosis. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate a substantial overlap among parentally reported problems, psychiatric diagnoses, and diagnoses based on RCADS-CV.
