Anxiety & Depression in Children and Teens

Adolescents, especially those in their early teens, have daily anxiety-producing issues. Indeed, many youngsters are more prone to anxiety attacks than most adults.

With the pressures of academic success, biological changes in the bodies, changes in their social life and the looming arrival of adulthood, adolescents often have a harder time dealing with many of the disturbing things presented to them in today’s world.

Compared to most adults, teenagers lack the skills associated with adulthood, so they often have a harder time handling many of the disturbing situations they encounter in today’s society.

While anxiety in teenagers can often be a natural reaction to many aspects of their daily lives (going on dates, attending exams, meeting new people, playing sports, performing on stage), others feel anxiety in unique ways, such as extreme worry simply by thinking of future events. When they think about it, these episodes often trigger irrational fears.

Anxiety can cause problems in children and adolescents just as it does adults. However, when anxiety symptoms in kids are ignored or misinterpreted they may hinder them from enjoying the usual day-to-day experiences of being young and alive, including having fun with their peers and participating in sports.
