Thousands of children and teenagers have contacted Childline as they battle anxiety, with some even suffering panic attacks as they struggle to get help.
The latest figures revealed the NSPCC-service delivered 13,746 counselling sessions – the equivalent to 38 a day – to young people who suffered with anxiety.
The charity says it is growing increasingly concerned about the impact anxiety is having on young people as counselling sessions about this issue rose by 59 per cent over the last two years.
The NSPCC says for children whose symptoms persist or get worse it is vital they have access to professional support and treatment.
However, some young people have told Childline they do not fit the criteria for Children and Mental Health Support (CAMHS), or have been left on their waiting list for months.
