Pediatric Stress

Pediatric: School Age

We don’t typically associate childhood with stress. Children don’t have bills to pay, demanding jobs or
kids of their own to worry over, so why would children possibly be stressed? This may be how we think, but the sad fact is that children today are being diagnosed with high-anxiety, depression and a myriad of other psycho- logical disorders resulting in more children being on psychosomatic drugs now than ever.
