Anxiety Across the Lifespan
Children and Adolescents
Children and teens may experience anxiety differently than adults. They may complain of stomachaches or headaches, avoid school or social situations, become unusually irritable, or have difficulty sleeping. Early treatment can help prevent symptoms from worsening and support healthy emotional development.
Adults
Anxiety can affect work performance, relationships, physical health, and overall quality of life. Many adults experience anxiety alongside other conditions such as depression or ADHD. Comprehensive treatment can help restore balance and improve daily functioning.
