Why do I need treatment? Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental disorders in children. Evidence shows that most children with the onset of the disorder in childhood have difficulty escaping from anxiety disorders even in adolescence and adulthood, and therefore have a huge impact on children’s development. What are the common types? The most common anxiety disorders in childhood are dissociative anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and specific fear disorder. The core symptom of separation anxiety disorder is the significant anxiety that occurs when the child is separated from their primary attachment or family. Generalized anxiety disorder in children is characterized by excessive and widespread worry about their social and academic well-being, requiring repeated reassurance and reassurance from family members. What are the specific manifestations? Obsessive-compulsive disorder has the core symptom of repeatedly obsessing over meaningless things or repeating meaningless actions, and the presence of compulsions and counter-compulsions, which seriously affects the life and schooling of the affected child. Specific fear disorder is characterized by the manifestation of marked fear of certain specific objects or situations, such as animals, storms, loud noises, etc., the manifestation of panic, crying, tantrums, freezing or dependence on others, and avoidance, and this avoidance behavior hinders the normal functioning of the child. Selective mutism, a type of social anxiety disorder, is characterized by the inability to speak in specific situations and the ability to speak in other locations. What factors influence its onset? During childhood, high parental and parental expectations, excessive academic burdens, poor peer and teacher-student relationships, hazy tendencies toward early love, parental divorce or family discord, living in poverty, sudden natural or man-made disasters, and other accidents may cause trauma to children, leading to varying degrees of emotional disturbance. Where can I find a professional doctor? If parents are apprehensive about seeing their child in a psychiatric hospital, they can choose to see a psychiatrist/psychosomatic medicine/mental health department in a general hospital. How to treat? Professional problems are left to professional doctors. For treatment, comprehensive intervention strategies are advocated for the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, and physicians will choose individualized interventions according to the child’s specific situation.
