Teens and Anxiety
Children or teens with generalized anxiety disorder often worry a lot about future events, past behaviors, social acceptance, and school performance.
Rituals and obsessive thoughts are a normal part of a teen's development. An adolescent with OCD has obsessive thoughts that are unwanted and related to fears.
Common phobias include fear of animals, blood, heights, closed spaces, or flying. In teens, the fear must last at least 6 months to be considered a phobia.
PTSD is a debilitating mental health condition that can occur after a child has or sees a traumatic event.
