Treatment for teen anxiety that works
Teen anxiety is the second most common mental health disorder in US teens
Teenage anxiety is a common and serious issue in the United States. It is estimated that about 25% of US 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 it can lead to other mental health problems, including depression. Teenagers with anxiety should receive appropriate treatment that helps them manage their symptoms and forge a fulfilling future.

Does my child need teenage anxiety rehab?
If your adolescent is experiencing anxiety that is impacting their daily life, 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 help their child get the treatment they need. 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.
