Need advice for anxiety disorder treatment

[hollykr]

My son is very studious. He is studying in grade 5. Every time he has his book with him. The only thing on his mind is studying and to be the topper of the class. He doesn't like watching television and never go out to play. He doesn't like to talk to others. Because of this behavior, he doesn't have any friends. One of his classmates complained me that my son will never talk to anyone and not even give a smile. I am worried about my son's future. How will he survive with this character?

I don't know why he is behaving like this. One of my friends told me that he might be having some kind of anxiety disorder. She also suggested taking him for an anxiety disorder treatment from a clinic in Toronto? Will this treatment help my child to completely recover from this disorder? Kindly share your views. Thanking you.

I am no doctor, and actually just a 15 year old kid trying to help out. (so sorry if I get anything wrong!)
I feel like your son needs a diagnosis before getting treatment. I personally have generalized anxiety disorder, and the symptoms do not quit suit with your son's. Has he shown any constant worrying about anything? Was he paranoid? Although extreme fear can lead to shutdown in this case, there are other possibilities too. For example, it can be depression, in which the symptoms quite suit his which you have mentioned.
But do try to get him some help, perhaps a diagnosis first. Many people do get better after proper treatment, so I do hope he gets the help he needs and can be himself again. Good luck to both of you.
