As a refresher, combinations are basically any pool of n elements combined k at a time. For example, in the case of major depression, the diagnosis requires at least 5 ( k 5) of 9 ( n =9) elements.

As we dive into dealing with a child’s anxiety I want to first share a few quick insights I wish I would have heard when I was growing up with anxiety. First of all, it’s not just anxiety. Often, mixed in with the anxiousness over something is suppressed rage, shame, guilt, feeling like a burden, sadness, and extreme doubt. To put it all into the container of ‘anxiety’ therefore would neglect much of what’s taking place within a child’s mind and body.
