I regularly write articles for a local newspaper, and this was one of my first. Anxiety is one of the most common problems that I see individuals for, particularly adolescents and children. We all have kids who exhibit fears or extreme reactions to certain situations. When my first daughter was 18 months to 2 years old, she seemed to be afraid to be afraid of everything: cars, helicopters, bugs, monkeys in her closet. You name it. If she heard a loud noise, she would cry and run over to me. This ended up being a phase, but often, these fears and reactions remain perpetual. So is it a full- fledged anxiety disorder?
