The majority of anxious children, especially those with GAD, do not simply grow out of it, and if left untreated, clinical-level anxiety can lead to significant difficulties later in life.
“Although some children with anxiety may simply 'grow out of it', the majority of anxious children (especially those with GAD) do not, and if left untreated, clinicallevel anxiety can lead to significant difficulties later in life (Cartwright-Hatton, 2013).”
From The efficacy of a group-based, disorder-specific treatment program for childhood GAD - A randomized controlled trial (2014) · cites this paper as Cartwright-Hatton, 2013
In “What happens if we do not treat childhood anxiety?” (page unavailable), the paper says a large proportion of children remain anxious into adolescence and early adulthood and describes risks of later psychiatric and other difficulties. It does not say that a majority fail to grow out of anxiety or identify GAD as especially persistent. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
