What Is Anxiety?
6. Selective Mutism
Most of us have found ourselves in situations where we don’t know what to say. It is more of a problem for people with selective mutism. This condition tends to involve children, and it can cause them to be too anxious to say anything in certain situations. This can have a negative impact on their progression academically and socially.
Another anxiety disorder that affects children is separation anxiety. The symptoms of this condition will show when the patient has been separated from parents or other senior figures. It can lead to extreme anxiety for the patient, and it can make it very difficult for them to perform at school and elsewhere.
