What about children's anxiety?
Now, various mood disorders are common not only in adults but also in children. Anxiety disorder in children is a relatively common one, often manifested as emotional instability, noisy, timid, fear of unfamiliar environments, and fear of going to school.
This tends to persist for weeks or even months. Parents are anxious and don't know what's going on with their children. Many children's anxiety disorders are easily overlooked by their parents, and this is precisely the reason why children are naughty. Because there are not a few cases of serious anxiety disorder in children, how should it be treated?
- Relieve your child's stress.
Don't assume that only adults experience stress. Today's parents allow their children to receive such and such talent and knowledge education for the sake of their children. They are also under great pressure. In addition, compared to other children, parents of teachers can put pressure on children, intentionally or unintentionally.
- Spend more time with your children.
Many urbanites are often busy with work, ignoring the healthy growth of their children's body and mind. If you don’t communicate with your child for a long time, the child will also be anxious, thinking that their parents dislike them and don’t like them.
What parents have to do is to accompany their children more, strengthen the close relationship between parents and children, and take their children out to participate in outdoor activities more often. These are also of great help to the physical and mental health of children.
- Psychotherapy.
When a child's anxiety disorder symptoms are severe, we can use psychotherapy to find out what is the cause of the child's anxiety. After establishing a good doctor-patient relationship with the child, fully understand the child's true feelings, and with the help of the family, try to help eliminate various unfavorable factors and reduce the child's anxiety symptoms.
- Drug intervention
When a child has an anxiety attack, symptoms such as body tension, facial tension, frowning and sighing generally appear. They may also experience physical symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, cold hands and feet or fever, and frequent urination and bowel movements. Due to overreaction of the autonomic nervous system.
At this time, medical intervention is required. You can choose a small amount of anti-anxiety drugs such as tranquilizers and hypnotics. It should be noted that the drug treatment of children's anxiety disorders must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and the process of drug treatment should not be too long.
Parents and families don't have to worry too much about their child's anxiety. Children can recover as long as they receive proper treatment. However, the harmony of the family, the growing environment, and the amount of pressure will all have a certain impact on the physical and mental health of the child. Therefore, while parents are busy with work, they should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of their children.
