Take-home points

Much of the anxiety experienced by some children and adolescents is caused by uncertainty about the future.
Some children and adolescents also are watching cases of COVID-19 tick up across the country and are concerned about the mixed messages they are receiving from adults.
- Different cultures exist around belief in science.
Rates of anxiety in general are on the rise as are demands for more mental health services.
- Clinicians are supporting each other to support their patients.
Anxiety in young patients might present as disruptions in sleep and appetite. Look for an increase in oppositional behavior. Young patients with anxiety also might resist going to bed.
Clinicians also are seeing increases in depressed mood and nonsuicidal self-injury.
Acceptance and commitment therapy, a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that is exposure based, is a strategy that can be used to help patients develop psychological flexibility and put distance between themselves and their thoughts.
