Where is anxiety in children coming from?
Description

We've heard a lot about the increased anxiety in teenagers in America. It's especially pertinent among teenage girls. But anxiety in children is still a big trend we're seeing nationwide. 

"Recent numbers from the CDC show that three in five teenage girls have felt hopeless, one of those serious enough to have suicidal thoughts," said Dr. Tamara Sheffield, senior medical director of Preventive Medicine at Intermountain Health.

That is a 60% increase from the prior year.
