CBS Boston talked to our Doctors Kat Boger and Mona Potter, Harvard-trained leaders and innovators in the field of child and adolescent mental health, about the pediatric mental health crisis. Their conversation covers the rising number of children struggling with moderate to severe anxiety and OCD, strategies that can help get kids back on track, and how InStride Health is helping solve the problem through evidence-based virtual care covered by insurance.
For a successful treatment, it’s critical to find the proper care for kids, teens, and young adults with anxiety and OCD. InStride’s clinical experts, Mona Potter, MD, and Kathryn Boger, PhD, ABPP, spoke about the important but challenging step of finding the right mental health care for youth and their families.
The COVID-19 pandemic only worsened anxiety levels in children and teens. The InStride team shared some ways parents can spot signs that their children are struggling with anxiety or OCD, as well as some strategies for families working to get their kids back on track.
Through their own experience and research, InStride’s clinical experts know that virtual care can deliver similar outcomes to traditional in-person therapy. Doctors Boger and Potter explained the benefits of virtual care for both patients and their families.
Parenting is hard. Parenting a child who has anxiety can be even more challenging, leaving you feeling drained and unsure of the best approach. Here are some things you can do to effectively support your child (and yourself!) when they are struggling with high levels of anxiety.
Earlier this month, Dr. Mona Potter, our co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, and other leading pediatric mental health experts in a special 60 minute webinar focused on helping parents identify the signs and triggers of back-to-school stress and anxiety for their children.
When children are having difficulty accessing evidence-based therapy due to the severity of their symptoms, medication augmentation is considered. Unfortunately, finding appropriate help is often an arduous task. Astonishingly, eighty percent of children and teenagers with anxiety disorders do not receive the treatment they need.
