Scary, adolescents are experiencing anxiety, and that may be the reason

The stomach's pain, concern, fear of abandoning, the tendency to attract are some of the ways in which anxiety appears in young people.

Factors That Cause Anxiety for Young People

In children and teenagers who suffer from this type of disorder, Professor Claudius Manzacci, past SIP president (The Italian Association of Psychiatry), director of the Fatebenefratell Neurocency Department of Sacco Hospital in Milan, identifies two common factors. The rise of feelings of anxiety, impulse failure, and emotional disrespect corresponds to a disproportionate increase in stimuli situations for the smallest one, he explains. In particular, food - related molesters, such as certain types of beverages containing caffeine or sugar - rich foods”. A further exciting effect on boys is caused by visual incentives. These last “also have a particularly important impact on sleep. Sleep concern is the other common denominator.” Insomnia, the changing pace of sleep-wake, the rest of it can be the basis for the start of anxiety attacks and panic.

“Also reducing the amount of hours devoted to sleep is also a trigger. Of course, these are not the only causes, but they are common elements for many children and teenagers who suffer from anxiety. This opens the way for alcohol abuse and teen medicine. These two factors actually give the final blow to some situations of former anxiety”. However, familiarity is also important: “From a biological and genetic perspective, in particular cognitive confrontation, or adaptation strategy to confront complex situations”.

All these factors also need to be added to such events as trauma or abuse. “Exploration to situations that make the path of evolution of a fragile young person affects the appearance of these disorders. We need to remember that the mind is always very plastic and that there is always a very strong interaction between biological, genetic and environmental equipment”. A child who feels that he has been abandoned emotionally can also easily manifest anxiety or panic. “Attention, however, is not the problem of neglected or untreated children, but of children who have aninfective parents or who ignore their needs. These are situations that create withdrawal experiences because of lack of care”.

How can you tell if your child suffers from anxiety

Kendall Jenner said that when she was a kid, her anxiety attacks made her breathing difficult. On the other hand, some children begin to suffer stomach pain or headaches without being able to express their concern. Many children also have difficulty focusing, they are easily distracted. Others verbalize their anxiety by saying that they are afraid of failure, that they experience the feeling of failure or inadequacy”. Then many agree with fear, shame, criticism, fear of the dynamics of groups that may sometimes turn into harassment. Many children also experience genuine social anxiety, especially during adolescence. They are afraid of prejudice, of comments about their bodies, they feel awkward, funny, and all of this gives them the fear of being in touch with others. It is no coincidence that many also suffer from anxiety about separation and are highly dependent on their parents”. Incredibly frequent among children suffering from such anxiety are panic attacks. A lot of children also suffer from nocturnus, terror that occurs during sleep”.

Treating Anxiety and Panic in Children

Until last year, the best way to detect anxiety in children had been provided by school. The procedure and interaction in school were the first signs. Today, which is not possible to take advantage of this parameter, we need to be careful about closing, over-introversion, to see if there is a tendency to hide in an obsession, to tell lies, and whether there is nervousness or concern”. In the face of these symptoms, each parent, before addressing a specialist, has some things he can do. “Mothers and fathers need to listen and follow the interests of their children, explains Professor Mozacci they need to find out what their trends are and stimulate them. They must teach children to be interested. Parents should set aside their expectations and focus on their children's desires, support them, even if they are different from what they imagined or aspired to. “Work in the life - style of children can be useful both in preventing and treating anxiety and panic. Let's try to teach them with a healthy lifestyle. Let's make sure there's an adequate sleep-wapping rate, so at night there's no light incentives in the room, no smartphones or other devices. And then let's invite them to practice an individual sport or a group, following their own tendencies and desires”. However, if such attention and precautions do not produce the desired results, you need to contact a specialist. “Sic would act with the pediatric or ORL. Do not be afraid to go to a specialist. If you do not deal with certain anxieties, they are at risk of being crystallized, becoming popular feelings that children will carry with them after they grow”.
