[quote=Anonymous]Mental health clinician here, who specializes in anxiety. None of us can diagnose what's going on with your kid definitively w/o a full work up, and w/o that, advice is not very useful. That said, this sounds a bit like excessive worries (which *may* meet criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but again, a full eval is needed), which are common in kids. If this has been going on for a while and is starting to really bother her or interfere with her life (e.g., sleep problems, concentration problems at school, withdrawn), I'd take her to a child psychiatrist or child psychologist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. Good luck.[/quote]
