Anxiety on its own is actually not problematic. But when kids and teens start avoiding experiences that cause anxiety, this can lead to difficulty learning, going to school, and performing required activities at home and other areas of life—like maintaining healthy eating habits, bathing, or getting a good night’s sleep.

Since anxiety and OCD are fueled by avoidance, caregivers and other family members can learn how to be supportive at home and ensure kids and teens get the help they need.

Lisa W. Coyne, PhD, and Eli Lebowitz, PhD, talk about how the home setting can affect children and teens who struggle with anxiety and OCD. They outline how the conditions manifest in young people and their impact on the entire family system.
