How can kids be diagnosed with GAD?

Children can be diagnosed with GAD through a child-specific psychological assessment. This may involve:

• Parent and teacher interviews to gather behaviour observations
• Child-friendly questionnaires to explore worry patterns
• Review of school performance and attendance
• DSM-5 criteria adjusted for children (only one physical symptom is required)

Early diagnosis allows for age-appropriate therapy and school support. Contact us now to arrange a child assessment.
