A parent-focused guide to understanding adolescent anxiety disorders

Designed as a practical reference for adults supporting teenagers, this guide combines clinical explanations with family-based perspectives. It addresses social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, outlining contributing factors and treatment information for each. Case studies grounded in families’ experiences, parent tips, quotations, and informational sidebars add context to the clinical material. A dedicated section on treatment considers parents’ involvement, the coordination of care with school, and insurance or managed-care concerns. The book frames informed support as a key part of helping an adolescent navigate an anxiety disorder.

Growing up can be stressful for any teenager, but it is considerably harder for the many adolescents who develop an anxiety disorder. This book is an essential guide for parents, teachers, or other adults involved with teenagers who may e affected by these disorders. By bringing together two strands of expertise--that of mental health professionals and of parents who have lived through the experience of their own teenager's mental illness--If Your Adolescent Has an Anxiety Disorder provides adult readers with the clinical information and practical advice they need to understand and help the teen. There are chapters detailing four the different types of anxiety disorders, including social anxiety, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and post-traumatic stress disorders. Each includes a clearly written definition, a discussion of factors that can contribute to developing the disorder, treatment information, and case studies based on a real family's own experience with the disease. Tips and quotes from parents are sprinkled liberally throughout the text, and helpful sidebars provide more detailed information. The authors also provide a chapter fully dedicated to discussing treatment options, including what role parents play in treatment, how to juggle treatment and school, and how to handle insurance and managed care issues. Knowing the right information about anxiety disorders is the first step towards helping adolescents who are dealing with them grow to become healthy, happy adults.
