Summary:
Statistics show that around 25% of children between the ages of 13 to 18 who suffered from an anxiety disorder, panic attack disorder, or depression did not have it treated. Because of this, they suffer from more anxiety disorders or mental health issues as adults. The good news is that there are certain phrases that kids say that show they’re feeling anxious. The feeling of anxiety is quite similar as it is for adults. Mood changes, fatigue, nervousness or shyness are some similar feelings, and they all relate to mental health issues that could result in a panic attack, social anxiety, and more. But unlike adults, kids may not know how to communicate their anxiety. Because they are still very young, we have to pay attention to certain phrases kids say when it comes to spotting anxiety or an anxiety disorder. Mental illness is a serious issue, which is why it is important to spot these signs. This video will show you certain phrases that kids say that can indicate they’re feeling anxious. If you have ever experienced anxiety before, you can probably understand how overwhelming it can be - so imagine how difficult it must be for children!

If your child tells you he/she doesn’t feel well, there is a good chance they don’t. This is why it is important to watch for signs of depression, a panic attack, and more. However, if you notice that they constantly tell you this in certain situations, something might be wrong. Take school for example; if you notice that they don’t feel well once a month, it could be because they’re anxious about a big test they might not be ready for.

A lot of phrases that kids say could be a sign of anxiety, but they could also mean nothing. It’s important to sit down with your child and find out what’s going on. As parents, you’re the first people they need to feel comfortable sharing emotions with. It’s also your job to teach them how to express and deal with these emotions. It is also important to understand that if your child is suffering from mental illness or a mental health issue, it is ok. If you take the right steps, you can deal with it.

Anxiety or depression is never easy to deal with - especially if the person who is feeling anxious is a child. They may not understand why they are feeling the way they are, and may be confused by what they are feeling. This is why it is important to know what signs to look for in children as well as what you can do to help comfort them. If a child is feeling anxious and it goes untreated on into adulthood, it could turn into depression. This is why it is extremely important to watch out for the signs at a young age.
