Beschreibung:
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns for children and adults, affecting upwards of 20% of children and adolescents over the lifespan. Anxious youth are often quiet and well-behaved and thus frequently go unnoticed by their parents, teachers, and coaches. Alternatively, others can be disruptive and act out, labeled as having attention deficit disorder or being a "bad" kid. Both scenarios result in youth failing to receive the help they desperately need. Sadly, untreated anxiety can lead to depression, missed opportunities in career and relationships, increased substance use, and a decreased quality of life.
