RE: The Childhood Anxiety Epidemic, What Can We Do?

in #health7 years ago

It's getting pretty bad out there...

I have to admit that I grew up as an anxious kid... and in the 1960's and early 1970's I was mostly told it was "nonsense." Which wasn't particularly helpful...and I can't remember any time in my life where I wasn't experiencing at least minor anxiety.

What's my point here? As part of this whole epidemic, the best thing we can do is teach coping skills... not dispense pharmaceuticals.

Thank you= Yes. Stop the overprescibing of chemicals which only mask the symptoms.
