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.
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.
