Anxiety is beneficial in some situations, helping you work harder or prepare thoroughly for an upcoming event.
Fear is a normal human responses to real or perceived threats.
Anxiety is the anticipation of a future threat.
You may experience nervousness before an essential test, important work presentation or a meeting with the parents of your fiance.
Physical symptoms like increased heart rate, shallow breathing, sweaty palms, even stomachaches, commonly accompany such anxiety.
If you notice these symptoms intensifying and lasting longer, if the nervousness feels like fearfulness about upcoming events and you have a strong desire to avoid a situation, then you may be struggling with clinical anxiety.

Some of us have a more difficult experience-long periods of depressed mood, loss of interest in things they once enjoyed, painful thoughts about ourselves and others, struggles with sleep, eating, energy and concentration.
Those of us struggling with depression tend to isolate from others.
We can feel tangled in cords of hopelessness.
This can lead to thoughts about ending our lives.

It can be difficult at times to pinpoint what is going on inside your child.
Symptoms of depression, anxiety, abuse or trauma, manifest differently in a young child's developing body and brain than in an adult's.
That is why the counselors at CHARIS partner with the whole family to gain a broad perspective on the factors that may be influencing your child's and your family's current difficulties.
