Anxiety FAQ
What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) involves chronic worry that feels difficult to control, even when there’s no obvious cause. Individuals with GAD may feel on edge most days, overthink decisions, and constantly anticipate worst-case scenarios. This can lead to physical symptoms like muscle tension, trouble sleeping, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, often interfering with school, work, or relationships.
What is Social Anxiety Disorder?
Social Anxiety Disorder is more than shyness—it’s a persistent fear of being judged or embarrassed in social or performance situations. Teens and young adults may avoid speaking in class, attending events, or trying new activities, even when they want connection. Over time, this can limit personal growth, confidence, and opportunities for meaningful relationships.
How can therapy help with anxiety?
Therapy helps individuals recognize anxious thought patterns and learn how to challenge and reframe them. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to reduce physical symptoms, regulate emotions, and build long-term coping tools. For teens and young adults, we also focus on building emotional awareness, confidence, and flexible thinking to navigate daily stressors more effectively.
How does anxiety show up in gifted or twice-exceptional (2e) teens?
In gifted or 2e teens, anxiety often appears as perfectionism, overachievement, emotional outbursts, or avoidance of tasks they fear they won’t excel at. They may also internalize pressure to meet high expectations—either from others or themselves. Their anxiety can be masked by intelligence, making it harder for parents and teachers to recognize the underlying distress.
What are signs that my gifted teen might be struggling with anxiety?
Watch for signs like frequent stomachaches or headaches, irritability, meltdowns over small changes, sleep issues, or avoidance of schoolwork despite capability. Gifted teens may also express existential worries, fear of failure, or obsess over not being “good enough.” If your teen appears overwhelmed by their thoughts or feels stuck despite high potential, anxiety could be playing a role.
