Generalized anxiety disorder
Children with GAD have recurring fears and worries that are difficult to control. They worry about everything from school, sports to natural disasters. They may exhibit symptoms of restlessness, irritability, fatigue, and may have trouble concentrating. They are often eager to please others and may be “perfectionists.” They may exhibit physical symptoms such as muscle tension and inability to relax, restlessness, fatigue, sleep apnea, difficulty concentrating, and irritability.
