As stated earlier in this section, depression in elementary aged students can be difficult to pick up on. Since this is the case, advocacy for these students becomes paramount. Along the same lines as treatment, the best plan for advocating for these students is to take a preventative approach. Another way to advocate is to get the parents involved. In a section talking about anxiety Huberty (2012) stated that including a family intervention was more effective for children 7-10. Now, it is important to state that this finding was concerning anxiety and not depression. However, the family intervention was part of a CBT intervention, which, Huberty (2012) argues is a well-supported method for treating both anxiety and depression.

Ever since I was little, I’ve found difficulty in the most simple tasks. Talking to the server at any given restaurant, asking the teacher for a bathroom pass, or even getting up to throw something away at lunch. I had a really hard time talking to people or having attention drawn to me. I couldn’t communicate with anyone, and every time I was left alone I always thought something would happen.

Cognitive biases are also frequently explored in patients with chronic pain, and are predicted by a number of theoretical models, in addition to Beck’s schema theory, such as the Self-Regulatory Executive Function theory (SREF), the Fear-Avoidance (FA) model, and the Misdirected Problems-Solving (MPS) model.

It is generally divided into two categories that is either mental or medical problems. It also represents certain disorders in DSM-IV.

“Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population.” (Anxiety and Depression Association of America 1). There is a huge difference between feeling nervous and having chronic anxiety. It’s perfectly normal to feel slightly anxious before giving a big speech or performance.

Individuals are capable to sense and feel the presence of anxiety in numerous situations connected to their culture and community. In addition, scholars attempted to find out the nature of anxiety from different perspectives. Spielberger and Rickman (1990) read about anxiety, depending on the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud, saying that anxiety is a nasty sensational state that is followed by the worriness and apprehension. However, too many authors have studied anxiety in regard to psychological or personal theory to learning and perceiving (Spielberg, 1966 a).in the beginning of the 1960s, the two ideas which are the state of being anxious and trait, were introduced by the two authors (ahell and scheier 1961) .
