Note. Category matches between linguistic coding scheme and RCADS are in bold.

a

P = participant.

b

% = presented as a percentage of total words by each participant; score = non-case 0, borderline case 1, case 2.

c

Non-case 0-2, borderline case 3-5, case 6-8.

d

N= non-case, B = borderline case, C = case.

e

RCADS-MDD = Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) subscale; N= none, Po = possible, Pr = probable depression.

f

Participants with possible or probable anxiety according to the RCADS Total Anxiety subscale.
