CAMILLA FOSTER FINDS EXPERT TIPS FOR BRINGING ANXIETY LEVELS DOWN DURING EXAM SEASON
-
EXAM season is finally upon us and for many teenagers it can be an intense and overwhelming time.
But how can parents tell when typical exam stress becomes something more serious?
As parents, we naturally want to support our teens through this tricky time in the best way possible, but knowing where to begin isn’t always easy. That's why we got in touch with Paula Bosha, psychotherapist and clinical lead at Priory who has played a key role in developing Priory's new exam stress workshop therapy programme.
She has outlined seven key warning signs that may indicate that your teen’s exam stress is escalating beyond what's normal, and has offered some advice on what practical things you can do to help.

Exam stress can sometimes negatively affect mental health. "Presenting with a lot of worrying about exams, feeling overwhelmed, panicky and stressed are some signs to look out for," says Paula.
2. Lack of motivation and enthusiasm
