Anxiety Disorders
In this discussion, we will take a look at anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, the parental role within the development of anxiety, the treatment of anxiety, the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and ways for children and teens to cope with anxiety. Anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents with a prevalence 9% and 23%. Often occurring with other anxiety disorders, depression, and behavioral disorders, they may have a negative impact on school and social lives of the children and adolescents affected (Creswell at al., 2014). Anxiety disorders are characterized by fear, worry, or dread that greatly impairs the ability to function normally and that is disproportionate to the circumstances at hand. Anxiety disorders emerge in about 3% of 6-year-olds and in about 5% of teenage boys and 10% of teenage girls (13) (Bhatia & Goyal, 2018). Children with an anxiety disorder have an increased risk of depression, suicidal behavior drug and alcohol addiction, and academic difficulties later in life (CDC, 2020).
Anxiety disorders that can develop in children and adolescents include
Agoraphobia
Generalized anxiety disorder
Panic disorder
Separation anxiety disorder
Social anxiety disorder
Specific phobias
Anxiety may result in physical symptoms. Diagnosis is clinical. Treatment may include behavioral therapy and/or pharmacotherapy, usually selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
