A youngster with an Anxiety
Disorder experiences anxiety more strongly and more often than others,
and has excessive worry to an extent that it interferes with the rest of
his or her life. Children and adolescents can also have symptoms
typical of adult panic attacks. Anxiety disorders are most likely
caused by a mixture of biological and situational factors.
Children of any age have worries, but when the worries and fears do not
go away, are not appropriate for their age, and stop children from
participating in their usual activities in the same way, an Anxiety
Disorder may be present. Anxiety disorders are among the most
successfully treated mental disorders with therapy and medication. |
