For many families in Laredo, the end of summer brings more than excitement. The return to school often triggers stress, anxiety, and even panic—for both students and parents. At DaniCare Psychiatry, we recognize that back-to-school transitions can be overwhelming, and we’re here to help.
Common Back-to-School Challenges
The start of a new school year can bring mental health challenges such as:
- Social anxiety: Worrying about fitting in or being judged.
- Academic pressure: Stress from heavy workloads and high expectations.
- Separation anxiety: Difficulty saying goodbye at the school door.
- Performance anxiety: Fear of failing in sports or extracurriculars.
- Difficulty coping with change: Adapting to new teachers, schedules, and routines.
Why Waiting Makes It Worse
It’s tempting to “wait and see” if stress improves on its own. But untreated anxiety can worsen, leading to sleep problems, declining grades, social withdrawal, and burnout. Getting timely help matters.

Unlike many providers with long waitlists, DaniCare offers immediate access to psychiatric evaluations and treatment. Our child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrists help families manage stress before it spirals.
