Anxiety is Real for Children

While some fear and worry are a normal part of growing up, persistent anxiety can impact a child’s daily life, from sleep and school to friendships and family dynamics. In this article, Dr. Rachel Cash, CareSource Behavioral Health Medical Director, explores the signs of anxiety in children, when to seek help, and how parents and caregivers can support young people in managing their mental health. Understanding these warning signs and knowing where to turn for help can make all the difference in a child’s journey toward wellness and resilience.
