Early Detection of Anxiety in Children

 

Anxiety and depressive disorders are abnormalities that compromise the quality of life. Experts believe that the analysis of symptoms in young children between the age of 3-7 may lead to developments in treatment methods.

According to research, children suffering from anxiety and depression tend to continue coping with the disorder after 5 years, suggesting a trend. A recent experiment was conducted on young children, through fear assessment with the placement of an unidentified stimulus in a dimly lit room. Depression sufferers are studied based on their responses towards reward methods.

Ongoing research is being conducted to determine the effects onto later life such as teenage years.
