[00:00.00]4 The happiest days of your life
[00:04.21]One in five modern children suffers from
[00:07.47]anxieties so severe that
[00:09.05]they should be classified
[00:10.52]as psychiatric disorders¹,say scientists
[00:13.43]from the University of Maastricht.
[00:16.02]The researchers interviewed 290 Dutch primary
[00:19.38]school children aged² between eight and thirteen
[00:22.73]20 percent of them were beset³ with worries
[00:25.40]so serious that
[00:27.08]they limited their ability to lead normal lives
[00:30.52]reports The Daily Mail.
[00:32.48]Many had trouble sleeping;
[00:34.24]some were afraid to leave their homes;
[00:36.90]others had problems
[00:37.78]interacting with their peers.
[00:40.54]"Nobody is really sure exactly why this is,
[00:43.87]but these disorders are caused by children
[00:46.73]internalising their anxiety,"
[00:48.79]said child psychiatrist⁴ Peter Muris.
[00:51.98]"This could be caused  by parents being away
[00:54.15]from their children for long periods
[00:56.59]or by children being stressed at school.
[00:59.30]A partent who does not spend time with their
[01:01.56]child could miss out on the fact that
[01:03.79]the child has the problem,
[01:05.68]meaning it can go untreared and get worse."
