A certain level of anxiety is a natural part of life. But how do you know if you’re dealing with a “normal” amount of anxiety or a bigger issue? Generally, anxiety becomes a problem when it’s so prominent that it impairs the ability to think and act in productive ways. That looks different in different people, so it’s critical to have a deeper understanding. In this informative video, Dr. Mona Potter helps you understand anxiety better, identify the ways it presents itself, and recognize when it may require treatment.
Dr. Potter, Harvard-trained leader in the field of child and adolescent mental health and co-founder of InStride Health, shares important information about anxiety.
As children get older, their emotions become more complex, as is the case for Riley (age 13) in Inside Out 2. As adults, we can probably all remember times when our emotions seemed to be on a roller coaster and were very difficult to understand, let alone talk about.
The school year is coming to an end, and many families are excited for fun in the sun and a break from the hustle and bustle of the school year. However, summer can be a source of stress for many parents with the change in childcare and schedules.
When a child has an anxiety and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a parent’s actions – even with good intentions – can accidentally make things worse. Understanding how parents take part in the anxiety cycle is important in helping kids get better.
