“My son gets very anxious and even begins to panic. What could be the reason?”
My son is 12 years old and I have been noticing that he panics a lot at the smallest of the things. It causes him to become anxious. Why could he be doing this at such a young age?

We are seeing more and more behavior problems and mental health issues, especially with the pandemics. I would be happy to do virtual visits and discuss further.
Your son is suffering from anxiety, and it's not the environment that makes him anxious, it's how he relates to his environment. He should definitely receive counseling and learn how to manage his world. Visualizing his experience prior to the encounter can help as well. If counseling doesn't work for him, there are medications which might help. Keep him involved in
