DOTHAN, AL (WDNews) — Mental health experts are warning parents, educators, and caregivers to be mindful of anxiety symptoms that may manifest as pupils return to school.
Students may become uneasy due to new schedules, social obligations, and academic responsibilities. Although feeling anxious occasionally is acceptable, doctors believe that anxiety turns into a problem when it interferes with everyday tasks and is severe and chronic.
Anxiety symptoms might vary, according to Mental Health America. Constant concern, difficulty sleeping, and bodily discomfort like headaches or tense muscles are all signs of generalized anxiety.
Extreme dread of particular circumstances or items characterizes phobias. While social anxiety frequently results in avoidance of public events or fear of being judged, panic attacks can induce immediate feelings of terror, shortness of breath, and a rapid heartbeat.
Early detection of these symptoms can assist adults in offering appropriate support. Open communication, establishing a secure space for kids to voice concerns, and getting professional assistance if symptoms worsen are all advised by experts.
