Anxiety is highly treatable-- cognitive behavior therapy is great for this, medication is also an option.

I think lots of people don't realize how disabling anxiety can be-- even in a young child it can take up so much brain space that they're nearly unable to think of anything besides their fears. It is a form of suffering and not a very nice way to live.

We found that treating anxiety let our kid be infinitely happier, more able to learn and grow and try new things.
