How do I know if my teenager's anxiety needs professional help?

Question

Name: Kavita Date of Birth: 6 June 1980 Place of Birth: Mumbai Time: 3:25 PM. 
My teenage son has never been very anxious, but lately, it's gotten worse. He avoids social activities, struggles in school, and is constantly tense. I don't know if this is something normal or not. I don't want to assume anything, but I don't want to ignore signs that he might need help too. 

How do I determine if a teen's anxiety is bad enough to see a therapist?

Accepted Answer

Namaste, Kavita. Born in Mumbai in Gemini season, you are a communicative and observant mother.

Teen years are governed by Mercury (learning) and Venus (peers). If your son's "Gemini" curiosity has been replaced by "Saturnian" withdrawal, his energy is blocked.

*Cause:* A difficult "Dasha" or a transit affecting his 4th (peace) or 5th (creativity/joy) houses.

*Remedy & Solution:*

● *Observation:* Does he have physical symptoms (stomach aches)? Is his sleep disturbed? These are the "Saturnian" red flags.
    ● *Mantra:* Chant the Gayatri Mantra for his clarity and protection.
    ● *Action:* "The Non-Judgmental Walk." Go for a walk together. Don't ask questions; just walk. If he starts talking, listen without fixing. If he remains tense for more than 4 weeks, it is time for a "Saturnian professional" (therapist).
