Artius April Client Success Story
Client “C”, aged 10, initially presented with social anxiety with panic. This was having a significant impact on her school attendance/performance and affecting her interaction with her family resulting in a huge negative impact on her quality of life. Fortunately, C was determined from the beginning to work hard on addressing her social anxiety with panic (without medication).

- C no longer experiences panic
- C has excellent insight into her social anxiety and is now able to manage her anxiety well
