I'm learning "concerned (before noun)" and "concerned about/for".

I've found that "concerned about/for" means "worried" or "care about". (Longman Explanation 2 and 6)

Does "concerned (before noun)" include the meaning of "caring"?
 
I'm concerned about t Amelia -- Amelia is on my mind because I'm worried about her and want to help her.
 
Please give us a complete sentence containing "concerned" before a noun. In future, always give a complete sentence containing any phrase or excerpt you're asking us about.
 
Does the following "concerned" only mean "worried"?

The drug came under strong attack from concerned professional observers. (Longman)
 
No, it does not only mean "worried." People can be concerned for any number of reasons, including worry.
