Using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) we examined 13 junior high school students with school refusal and indefinite complaints. Significant increase of the anxiety levels was higher in these children than in the control group. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were administered to 19 elementary and junior high school students with school refusal and indefinite complaints. The indefinite symptoms improved markedly in 2 children, moderately in 11, and mildly in 6. We conclude that high anxiety may cause indefinite symptoms in children with school refusal and that the treatment of indefinite symptoms with SSRI is an effective supportive therapy.
