Abstract

Childhood anxiety is a prevalent mental health concern characterized by excessive worry, fear, and apprehension in children. It can manifest in various forms, such as separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. This abstract provides an overview of child anxiety, including its prevalence, risk factors, and impact on children’s development and functioning. It also highlights the importance of early identification and intervention, as well as evidence-based approaches for assessment and treatment. The abstract concludes with a discussion on the need for further research to improve our understanding of child anxiety and enhance intervention strategies to support affected children. Childhood anxiety is a prevalent mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear, and nervousness that can significantly impact a child’s daily functioning and overall well-being. This abstract aims to provide an overview of child anxiety, including its prevalence, risk factors, common symptoms, and available treatment options. It emphasizes the importance of early identification and intervention to mitigate the long-term effects of anxiety on children’s development.

Childhood anxiety disorders affect a significant number of children worldwide, with estimates suggesting a prevalence rate of around 10-20%. These disorders can emerge in early childhood and continue into adolescence and adulthood if left untreated. Various risk factors contribute to the development of child anxiety, including genetic predisposition, family and environmental factors, traumatic experiences, and temperament. Children with anxiety disorders often exhibit a range of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. These can include excessive worry, fear of specific situations or objects, perfectionism, physical complaints (e.g., headaches, stomachaches), sleep disturbances, avoidance behaviors, difficulty concentrating, and school-related issues.
