[quote=Anonymous]I'm an educator. I was in a training on behavioral disorders a few years ago, and there was a section on generalized childhood anxiety. I checked every one of the symptoms...for myself as a child. After the training, I called my dad (who's a psychiatrist) and asked him, if I had all of these symptoms, why was I never diagnosed? He answered that when I was s kid, they just didn't know yet that children could have anxiety. (I was diagnosed as an adult when I began to have honest-to-God panic attacks at work and in other spaces, and went on Zoloft for a while. I'm of of it now, and doing just fine.) So, yes, I think it may be a combination of our fear-mongering society and new rates of diagnosis/willingness to talk about it. [/quote]
