Anxiety Disorder and Your Son at A Boys Ranch.

We can help your boy in his battle with Anxiety Disorder, sometimes called Generalized Anxiety Disorder.  This is an enduring condition marked by a harsh and debilitating intensity of fear, which may be characterized by panic attacks; specific phobias triggered by specific things or situations, and may include social anxiety disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).  It can be solely mental and emotional, or perhaps present with physical symptoms (i.e.: sleeping problems, profuse sweating, fast pulse).  Full-blown attacks can feel paralyzing to those who are suffering.

Typically, a diagnosis requires that the anxiety last a minimum of six months.

Boys ranches – Providing Tools to Help Your Son with Anxiety Disorder.

Early Diagnosis and treatment for Anxiety Disorder is essential, to keep the anxiety from building to the point of clinical depression, maybe leading to self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, or other harmful behaviors.
 
Your boy’s treatment approach might include one or more therapies.  Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the more effective means of treatment for high-level anxiety.  That therapeutic approach is focused on recognizing thought patterns that can lead to anxiety, and then preventing negative behaviors by teaching new responses to those triggering events.  

Some children might also benefit from medication to help in dealing with anxiety, although others find the side effects too difficult to handle.

You may find it difficult to comprehend the underlying causes that elicit such responses but with early diagnosis and professional help, Anxiety Disorder is generally treated with fairly high rates of success.
