Does Your Teen Need Help Managing Their Anxiety Over The Holidays?
What is anxiety?
It’s completely normal to worry when things get hectic and complicated. Anxiety is a natural human reaction that involves mind and body. It serves an important basic survival function: Anxiety is an alarm system that is activated whenever a person perceives danger or threat.
Serious signs that your teen needs help managing their anxiety:
– Excessive worry that doesn’t go away
– Physical anxiety symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, shaking, dizziness, sweating, an upset stomach, and dry mouth and restlessness
– Irritability or lack of patience – this is very often a sign that is dismissed because teens seem irritated a lot of the time.
– Difficulty concentrating
– Panic attacks – when you feel a complete loss of control
– Social withdrawal and isolation
– Changes in appetite
– Insomnia or excessive sleeping
– Lack of hygiene and self-care
