There's so much pressure on kids.

So, you know, I'm 60 and we didn't have this kind of pressure before.

growing up.

And so the generations that follow have so much pressure.

That pressure makes children literally go off the rails.

We could talk about the academic pressure, the competitiveness, the perfectionism.

So ADHD is a bucket.

It's a bucket which you throw people in

who have anxiety that has never been treated.

And there's different ways of thinking about treatment, too.

So we are a society that likes superficial quick fixes.

We like drugs.

We like CBT therapy.

The truth is that this is not a quick fix.

Figuring out relationally, dynamically, what happened to you as a child, what your losses were, what your traumas were, what caused you to feel so anxious, what's caused you to go into fight or flight is hard work.

It requires frustration.

It requires commitment.

It requires going to someone who can think very deeply with you.

You know, I want to define...

what anxiety is because I think it's really important because we rarely define depression and anxiety.
