The assessment of the subjective component of anxiety disorders may be more difficult for child clients than assessment in adults. This may be due, in part, to the difficulty parents and clinicians have in reliably identifying emotional discomfort in children.

True or False?

True.

Explanation:

As we know, anxiety is a psychological disease that affects many adults around the world. What many people do not know is that this disorder can affect not only adults, but children as well and, unfortunately, children are more difficult to be treated against this disease because the diagnosis becomes a great challenge.

Anxiety is characterized by a constant and irrational fear and concern about several factors. What makes the diagnosis of children so difficult is that children can naturally present themselves with fear and worry about situations they do not know. This makes it difficult for parents and doctors to identify abnormal discomfort in children, indicating anxiety as a disorder present in the child.
