Diagnosis of GAD differs between children and adults
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Perhaps the biggest difference in anxiety in children and adults is the ability to recognize and express anxiety. Children have a more difficult time vocalizing their feelings, while adults are able to verbally acknowledge that they are anxious.
Detailed explanation-2: -Children with GAD are often overly self-critical and avoid activities in which they feel that may not be able to perform perfectly. They also tend to seek frequent reassurance from caregivers, teachers, and others about their performance, although this reassurance provides only fleeting relief from their worries.
Detailed explanation-3: -When people experience normal anxiety, they tend to worry about things related to the anxiety-provoking situation or several other things that make them fearful. People with GAD tend to be described as “worrying about everything all the time.” If that describes you, it may be more than normal anxiety.
Detailed explanation-4: -A child with GAD has a lot of worry and fear that seems to have no real cause. A child with GAD may worry about things such as future events, past behaviors and family matters. Generalized anxiety disorder is caused by both biological and environmental factors. A mental health evaluation is needed to diagnose GAD.
