Understanding Anxiety Disorders in Children

Anxiety disorders in children can manifest as more than just fear and worry. Conditions like agoraphobia, panic disorders, specific phobias, and generalized anxiety can significantly impair a child's everyday functioning. The distinction between normal fear and anxiety disorders lies in the level of impact on daily life activities like school, learning, and friendships.
