Authors

Abstract
The purpose of this brief review was to evaluate the efficacy of classroom interventions for elementary children with anxiety disorders, specifically Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, and test anxiety. Three common interventions for these anxiety disorders are hypnosis, meditation, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy as proven to be the most test and reliable intervention for treating anxiety disorders. Early intervention and prevention interventions have also been shown to dramatically decrease the risk of students for developing anxiety disorders later in life. Teachers should also be trained to detect and seek help for children in their classrooms who are suffering from anxiety.
