Understanding the Source of Teen Anxiety
Adolescence comes with unique challenges that can contribute to anxiety, including:
- Academic pressures and performance expectations
- Social dynamics, peer relationships, and social media stress
- Family changes or conflicts
- Identity, self-esteem, and self-image concerns
From the outside, teen anxiety may look like avoidance of social situations, irritability, restlessness, or frequent complaints of physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches. Teens may also experience perfectionism or excessive worry that interferes with daily life. So, what do we do about it?
