January is Mental Wellness Month. January has been designated as Mental Wellness Month in an effort to recognize the importance of attending to our mental health, especially seeing the vast prevalence of mental health issues and disorders that exist in our world.

While anxiety is a serious issue for many teens, some may not get treatment or even a diagnosis for it when they should because they have high-functioning anxiety, which can go unnoticed. Their stress and mental health concerns are masked under so-called “good” behaviors or outcomes, such as strong academic performance.

This article tells you what you need to know about high-functioning anxiety in teenagers, including its tie to depression and how you can help.
