Kids and Anxiety

Childhood should be filled with carefree days running around outside, playing dress-up, and goofing off with friends.  There are usually few, if any, real responsibilities, so most kids limit their worrying to ensuring that nothing important is left off of their holiday-time wish lists.

Unfortunately, for children with generalized anxiety disorder, their days are spent differently, as they battle overwhelming fears and stressors about school, their appearance, the future, friends, and anything else that might cross their mind. They're often up restless at night with worry and self-doubt taking over their thoughts, and during the day, they find it hard to concentrate.

While some anxiety at a young age is normal, it's important to learn the symptoms of GAD in kids to know when a child's level of stress is becoming unhealthy.

Xanax is a tranquilizer used in the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety or the treatment of anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorder is marked by unrealistic worry or excessive fears and concerns. Anxiety associated with depression is also responsive to Xanax.
