Counseling

Anxiety is common and treatable. Facing worries in small steps, rather than avoiding them, helps anxiety shrink over time, and caregivers can help by staying calm and encouraging brave steps. SSRIs take several weeks for full effect; early side effects such as stomach upset or feeling restless are usually mild and fade. Take the medicine every day and do not stop it suddenly. Recommended supportive care with an emphasis on regular sleep, daily physical activity, regular meals, time with supportive friends and family, and limiting screens before bed. Return precautions given including worsening anxiety or panic, new agitation or restlessness, low mood, trouble attending school, side effects from the medication, new symptoms, prolonged symptoms, worsening symptoms, and other concerns.
