Sarah Pam, a 12-year-old Native-American CIS female, exhibits a range of symptoms that has occurred over the last year. She is consistently plagued by worry and experiences heightened anxiety when her parents leave her with a babysitter. She seems to be on edge and always feels something wrong will happen. After witnessing a car accident on the news, she has developed a fear that her parents will also experience a similar fate. This state of unease causes her to be on edge and hampers her ability to concentrate. Her anxiety has led to failure on two exams as she experiences blankness and difficulty focusing. Notably, a history of general anxiety is present within her family, with both her mother and father having undergone treatment for similar issues.
