Can teens suffer from ANXIETY?
Feelings like stress, panic, freaking out or excessive worries can be related to ANXIETY. ANXIETY is very common in teenagers and if attended to they can be treated. Given of the number of factors that are changing within the maturing body , mind and emotions of a teenager, sometimes they don’t even realize that they are suffering from ANXIETY, which can become a...n enormous burden and obstacle to natural maturation. It all comes down to the baggage that they have such as:
Genetics, brain chemistry, major life events and interpretation of life events.
The impact of ANXIETY is widespread and often a basic instinctive response is activated: the flight or fight response! Understanding ANXIETY and the impact of the flight/fight response can help teenagers be aware of what is happening to them and make them more receptive to using tools and skills. Empowering the teenager to manage feelings of ANXIETY is like “letting the horse realize it is thirsty and helping them find the water to drink by themselves”.
