Anxiety in children
For many years it was believed that children did not experience depression or anxiety and that those who appeared to were merely malingering or attention seeking. This is no longer the case. It is now widely accepted that as many as 8 – 11% of children and adolescents suffer from anxiety that affects their ability to get on with their lives.
