Defining Anxiety Disorder among Children
from:Among the most prevalent emotional and psychiatric disorders in America are anxiety and panic attacks and a number of anxiety disorders. Display of symptoms covers simpler conditions like Adjustment Disorder and the more delibitating Post Traumatic Disorder and Anxiety Disorders.
If the recent data will be used to evaluate the prevalence of such disorders, we may arrive to the conclusion that around 25% of all adults having such disorders will have to endure them for their lifetime. On the other end of the scale, the prevalence among children are still not equated but is perceived to be significantly under-diagnosed and unreported.
Although the conditions that arise among children are common, they are often misjudged and overlooked. But the growing consensus among experts being thought of today is that the majority (if not all) of the disorders felt during adulthood must have first triggered during childhood. Or must have first developed, felt and went untreated during earlier years.
These childhood manifestations of the disorders and symptoms might have been so subtle that they gave too little hints that something is going wrong in the child. However, other sources assert that the older people surrounding the child must have ignored the early manifestations of symptoms. In time, the childhood symptoms developed into adult forms which caused the person to suffer.
Symptoms of anxiety disorder in children
Anxiety disorder as felt by children may display almost similar symptoms like that with older patients. But as expected, they may arise during situations that are most likely inapplicable for adult sufferers. Often, they are observed in school and are confused as tantrums and the likes. Anxiety as felt among children is usually a subjective sensation of apprehension, distress, worry and fear. The vital point in diagnosing anxiety disorder in children is that the symptoms must be recognized as abnormal manifestations. Defined boundaries must be set in order to do this.
Children anxiety disorder has two components: the out of normal conception of emotions like extreme anxiety and fear and the physical symptoms such as sweating, headache and nausea.
On more severe cases, anxiety in children can significantly deprive them of proper concentration and learning and will lessen their ability to exercise decision making and their normal perception of the environment. Children anxiety disorder may also manifest by means of elevated heart rate and blood pressure, and a multitude of physiological ailments such as frequent headache, diarrhea, shortness of breath, weakness, tingling and a number of others.
Though children and adult sufferers may be suffering conditions of similar descriptions, it must still be understood that their age, understanding and their ability to cope with their disorder must be taken into consideration. Children display anxiety on varying levels. Diagnosing the abnormal level of anxiety depends partly on the effects of the condition towards the child's functioning. Therefore, the evaluation of the degree of abnormality must be based on the child's developmental level and his age.
With that in mind, we can categorize children anxiety disorder into following (as listed below). Though some of the disorders cover symptoms that are more advanced for children, they still remain treatable. And once treated, the likelihood that they will reoccur in later life will dramatically diminish.
· Generalized Anxiety Disorder
· Panic Disorder
· Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
· Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
· Acute Stress Disorder
· Social Phobia
· Specific Phobia
· Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety
· Anxiety Disorder as a result of a general medical condition
