Did You Know Anxiety Can Be Contagious?

Turns out, if a parent is super sensitive to anxiety, their teen’s brain might actually react differently to emotional situations!

It’s not just about genetics; kids might be picking up on how their parents handle stress and mirroring it. Wild how much our vibes rub off on the next generation! #Health #MentalHealth #Parenting
