Anxiety affects teenagers in different ways. For example, some teens struggle with perfectionism and as a result, they are afraid to engage in challenging activities or care too much about what others think of them. If left undiagnosed and untreated, anxiety may lead to dangerous behaviors (like substance abuse) or depression.
This anxiety symptoms checklist is a helpful handout that increases awareness of a teenager’s experience with anxiety. It lists various anxiety-related thoughts and feelings and asks them to place a checkmark beside each symptom that applies to them. Next, it asks them about the 3 symptoms that have affected them the most.
