Michael Wolraich: As someone who has anxiety, you have this, when you're in the midst of it, you have constant energy going through you. And that's why therapy is so very, very important for these kids. We saw larger shifting kids who were on the cusp before and then after COVID started refusing completely. They were sort of anxious about school. Then COVID, as you mentioned, just sort of triggered them and put them over the edge.
