Psychologist Austin https://www.austinanxiety.com/recognizing-depression-in-children/ Depression that meets diagnostic criteria (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder) is by far the most prevalent mental disorder worldwide. Depression manifests itself differently in kids than it does in grownups. A lack of enthusiasm and increased irritability are common symptoms in children.
You should know that your child may be depressed even if he or she does not show every symptom mentioned below. You may want to seek additional counsel or therapy if you’ve seen any of the above changes in your child’s behavior that have persisted for several weeks.

According to Wikipedia
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil, often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints, and rumination. It is the subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over anticipated events, such as the feeling of imminent death.Anxiety is not the same as fear, which is a response to a real or perceived immediate threat, whereas anxiety is the expectation of future threat.
