Description

Anxiety disorders fall within the category of mental health issues. It’s challenging to get through the day when you’re anxious. Sweating and a fast heartbeat are symptoms, along with feelings of unease, panic, and terror. Medication and cognitive behavioral therapy are forms of treatment. The ideal treatment plan for you can be created by your healthcare provider.

The Young Minds Matter study estimates that 560,000 young people in Australia, or one in seven, suffer from mental health issues like anxiety and depression. These diseases frequently have a severe negative influence on both family life and the learning and development of children.

Anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder are the second and third most prevalent mental health problems in Australia, affecting 6.9% and 2.8% of young people, respectively, according to a recent national research called Young Minds Matter. Both are influenced by extreme life circumstances and genetic susceptibility.

Children between the ages of 4 and 11 are nearly three times more likely than adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 to experience a severe mental disorder, and recent research found that adolescents with major depressive disorder were more likely to self-report the disorder than to report it to their parents (7.7% vs. 4.7%).

Particularly teenage girls experience high amounts of distress. According to a study by Young Minds Matter, one in five adolescents between the ages of 16 and 17 had serious depressive disorder and one in six had self-harmed in the previous year.
