Why is my teen so anxious?
There’s rarely a single answer. Anxiety often develops from a complex mix of biological and environmental factors—many of which are beyond a teen’s or parent’s control. Common contributing factors include
- Genetics: A family history of anxiety or other mental health conditions.
- Brain chemistry: An imbalance of natural brain chemicals (neurotransmitters).
- Past trauma: Distressing events like bullying, loss, or family conflict.
- Chronic stress: Overwhelming pressure from school, social life, or high expectations.
- Social environment: The influence of peer groups and social media pressure.
Understanding your teen’s unique situation is the first step. We can help.

Common types of anxiety in teens
Anxiety can show up in different ways. Here are some common forms we see and treat in teenagers.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): Constant, excessive worry that feels impossible to control.
Social anxiety disorder: Intense fear of being judged or embarrassed in social situations that causes teens to avoid friends, school events, or even speaking in class.
Panic disorder: Repeated episodes of overwhelming fear (panic attacks) that include physical symptoms like a racing heart, trouble breathing, or dizziness.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): Unwanted, intrusive thoughts that lead to repetitive, ritualistic behaviors like excessive handwashing or checking.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance of reminders of the trauma.
