A task force made up of medical experts from across the United States recommended on Tuesday that doctors begin screening all children between the ages of 8 to 18 for anxiety, whether they show symptoms or not.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released their recommendation noting that it comes as cases of mental health disorders continue to rise among young Americans. The task force’s primary goal is to put in place preventative steps against rising diseases under the purview of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
