Summary
Chapter 15 discusses worries and anxiety in children and young people and how to spot when worrying can become a problem. We explain panic attacks and how to help children and young people with symptoms of panic. We consider the different types of anxiety disorders, including phobias, generalised anxiety disorder and separation anxiety. We discuss how children and young people with anxiety difficulties and disorders can be supported and which treatments may be most helpful.
