The new recommendations apply to children who are not showing recognized symptoms of anxiety or depression and who do not have a diagnosed mental health condition.
"Mental health illnesses are on the rise, particularly in teens and younger children, and we have heard and talked about it so many times, it deserves attention," said Ashton."There is a growing mental health crisis in this age group."
The task force said it was not recommending anxiety or depression screenings for kids ages 7 and under because there is not enough evidence to demonstrate the benefits and harms of screenings for that age group. Anxiety is the feeling evoked when someone experiences fear of something bad happening. It can lead to avoidance, panic attacks, excessive worrying or other symptoms. Anyone can have anxiety at times, but when anxiety symptoms become overwhelming to the point that they consistently interfere with daily life, it can be an anxiety disorder,Like most mental health conditions, anxiety falls on a spectrum, with differing degrees of severity.
In children, symptoms of anxiety may include interruptions in sleeping patterns or difficulty sleeping and excessive emotions in terms of anger, irritability and clingy behaviors. Kids may also demonstrate physical symptoms like an upset stomach or a headache, according to Ashton.Treatment for anxiety is available and may include things like child therapy and family therapy.
