Ochsner Health psychologists available to discuss anxiety screening for kids

The U.S. The Preventive Services Task Force recently recommended that primary care physicians screen all children ages 8-18 for anxiety – even if they have no symptoms.

Dr. Adair Parr and Dr. Yelena Johnson, psychologists at Ochsner Health, can discuss what parents need to know about these new recommendations, the variety of screening options available to patients, and the importance of early intervention in addressing the youth mental health crisis.
