Social anxiety disorder has a median age of onset of 13 years and 75% of patients have an onset by age 15 (Kessler et al., 2005a). Published neuroimaging studies of inhibited temperament have focused on imaging adolescents and young adults (blue), who have already reached the median age of onset for social anxiety disorder. Future studies should focus on younger children, who have yet to reach the age of onset for social anxiety disorder to understand how temperament affects brain function.
