anxiety Disorder In Children

Chronic anxiety disorder in children?

My friend's daughter has had some issues for years. She was a "crier" as an infant - up to 18 hours a day. Although she is six now, she is still very sensitive to crowds, noises etc. And she cries a lot. Her first year of kindergarten was difficult and the teacher suggested counselling. They say she has chronic anxiety disorder. This will just be a part of her life.

She could be drawn to alcohol and drugs, absolutely.

She will likely be put on medication by a shrink in later life though instead.

Most anxiety disorders don't really "make you stronger". They are mental disorders. Mental disorders do not "make you strong". Overcoming things that would make normal people anxious could make them stronger, having a brain that is constantly in "panic" mode is not particularly strengthening.

I would think of it more as this is who she is, and something she has to work hard to keep under control. She should work on finding her strengths, while dealing with this one weakness.

At this point working with a trained therapist will likely benefit her, and again, in later life she may seek medication to help eleviate this constant panic she feels.
