Ep. 55: Anxiety in Children: A Hidden Cause of Behavior Issues - with Elise Fallucco, M.D.

Do you struggle with a challenging child? Sometimes, kids' actions aren't just random behaviors—they're ways of expressing themselves when they can't find the right words or understand their own emotions. Anxiety disorders are the most common behavioral health problem in children and often goes undiagnosed. Treating anxiety early can make a big difference in how well someone copes with it over time. In this podcast episode, child psychiatrist Elise Fallucco, MD, host of the PschEd4Peds podcast, chats with Dr. Wendy about how to spot anxiety symptoms and recognize anxiety disorders in children.
