Teen anxiety can be extremely overwhelming and can be expressed in different ways. The symptoms might come on suddenly or build up gradually before an individual recognizes something is wrong. People tend to think of anxiety as something that causes avoidance of stressful situations, which is how it is typically expressed by females. However, anxiety in males can be expressed as angry outbursts or conflictual interactions with others.
