Teen anxiety is the second most common mental health disorder in U.S. teens
Teenage anxiety is a common and serious issue in the United States. It is estimated that about 25% of adolescents experience an anxiety disorder at some point during their teenage years. Left untreated, anxiety can interfere with a teenager’s ability to function at home, school, and in social situations, and can lead to other mental health problems such as depression. It is important that teenagers with anxiety receive appropriate treatment in order to help them manage their symptoms and live fulfilling lives.

Does my teenager need help?
If your teenager is experiencing anxiety that is impacting their daily life, it is important to consider seeking professional assistance. Only a mental health professional, such as a clinician, can diagnose an anxiety disorder, but parents and guardians are often the first to recognize the signs and can help their child receive the necessary treatment. If you believe that your teenager is struggling with anxiety and would like support, please do not hesitate to reach out to Avery’s House for further guidance and resources.
