Problems that stem from mental health issues can unfortunately impact any person from any walk of life. In fact, the effects of anxiety are estimated to impact between 15 and 20 percent of today’s youth.
Those affected understand the difficulties in functioning in social, academic, and family settings. They are at increased risk to experience other mental health issues such as depression, substance abuse, and suicide.
How Pediatric Care is Different
Our Pediatric Care + specialists provide diagnostic and treatment services for both anxiety and depression, which often go hand in hand. Our combined experience allows the effective and careful pinpointing of diagnoses through proper psychological evaluation.
We also provide different diagnostic tests including BECK assessment, Vanderbilt assessment, GAD-7 assessment, PHQ-9 assessment, and more.
Data suggests that although the onset of such disorders usually begins in childhood, early diagnosis and treatment reduces the likelihood of multiple disorders forming in adulthood.
If you, your child, or a loved one is struggling with issues related to anxiety or depression, please speak with a Pediatric Care + provider today.
