Anxiety is the primary internalizing reason for child mental health referrals.
About 25 to 40 percent of children and adolescents with disruptive disorders also have anxiety disorders. Clinical studies have shown that anxiety and depression have high co-morbidity rates. Anxiety and depression both can masquerade as malaise, stomach upset, chest tightness, headaches, or shyness.
