Title: Students and Anxiety Problems (Information Resource)
Description: When it comes to learning and performance at school, anxiety can be facilitative and disruptive. All students are anxious at times; some more than others; some pervasively and chronically.
When anxiety is disruptive, it is associated with a host of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional problems. When the problems are pervasive and severe, they may be diagnosed as anxiety
disorders. However, most students who have problems and appear or indicate that they are anxious are not disordered and should not be treated as having a psychopathological condition. And, in most instances, it is difficult to differentiate cause and effect. Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/anxiety.pdf 45kb, 8pp
