If you think only adults suffer from anxiety, think again. Children and adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder engage in extreme, unrealistic worry about everyday life activities. They worry unduly about their academic performance, sporting activities, or even about being on time. Typically, these young people are very self-conscious, feel tense, and have a strong need for reassurance. They may complain about stomachaches or other discomforts that do not appear to have any physical cause.

Children and adolescents with anxiety disorders can benefit from a variety of treatments and services. Following an accurate diagnosis, possible treatments include:Cognitive-behavioral treatment, in which young people learn to deal with fears by modifying the ways they think and behave; Relaxation techniques; Biofeedback (to control stress and muscle tension); Family therapy; Parent training; and Medication. While cognitive-behavioral approaches are effective in treating some anxiety disorders, medications work well with others. People are not all the same and treatment for anxiety and panic attacks will vary according to the person and the length and severity of the problem. One very effective alternative is a herbal remedy that is safe for children and adults. PureCalm combines the soothing properties of Melissa Officinalis, with those of Lavender and Passiflora Incarnata, bringing you relief from anxiety, stress, irritability and nervous tension.
