Nowadays, much concern has directed to mental health and coping mechanisms for different

types of disorders. Many of us worry from time to time. We fret over finances, feel anxious about
job interviews, or get nervous about social gatherings. These feelings can be normal or even helpful.
They may give us a boost of energy or help us focus. But for people with anxiety disorders, they
can be overwhelming.

Anxiety problems are the most common mental health problems in children and adolescents. More
specifically, studies indicate that between 5% and 10% of children from preschool through
adolescence have a current anxiety problem. Anxiety disorders can also raise your risk for other
medical problems such as heart disease, diabetes, substance abuse, and depression.

The good news is that most anxiety disorders get better with therapy. The course of treatment
depends on the type of anxiety disorder. Medications, psychotherapy (“talk therapy”), or a
combination of both can usually relieve troubling symptoms.

: why do some children struggle with Anxiety? It is quite obvious that parents of children with
anxiety asked such common question as:
- Why is this happening?
- How come other children do not have this problem?
- Is it because he is a middle child?
- Is it in her DNA?

But there are no simple answers on all of these questions, because:

1) psychology and psychiatry—the disciplines that focus on mental health and emotional well-
being—are relatively new fields of medicine. There have always been children and adults struggling
with anxiety, but studying these problems scientifically, as part of the broader field of medicine, is
relatively new.
2) The second thing to realize is just how complicated and challenging the human brain is, and how
limited are the tools we have to study it. A human brain has tens of billions of neurons,
interconnected through a web of synapses and is far more complex than the most sophisticated
machinery. Understanding how the brain functions normally, at the most rudimentary level, is a
tremendously challenging task that is still very much ongoing. The tools we have to study the brain
are also extremely limited (Eli R. Lebowitz, 2020, p. 5).

For better understanding phenomena of anxiety, we should realize what anxiety looks like. Anxiety
feels different depending on the person experiencing it. Feelings can range from butterflies in your
stomach to a racing heart. You might feel out of control, like there is a disconnect between your
mind and body. Other ways people experience anxiety include nightmares, panic attacks, and
painful thoughts or memories that you can’t control. You may have a general feeling of fear and
worry, or you may fear a specific place or event. An anxiety attack is a feeling of overwhelming
apprehension, worry, distress, or fear. For many people, an anxiety attack builds slowly. It may
worsen as a stressful event approaches.
In conclusion, from year to year, the statistics of people experiencing anxiety attacks are growing.
In accordance with it, the necessity of providing high-quality both prevention and treating methods
with different types of mental or health problems is raised. If someone feels that he falls in some
sort of adversity it is important to seek help because the truth is that contemporary disorders and
anything like that are highly treatable, and anxiety is not an exception from rules.
