Tayla is a 10-year-old girl whose family moved to the area six months ago and have attended the clinic looking to register with a new GP.
Her parents have no specific concerns today but have noted that she has been much quieter since the move. She has also stopped attending gymnastics, which previously she loved. They have put this down to starting a new school, noting that she has always been a “worrier”.
After gaining a general past medical history for Tayla and building some rapport, the GP conducts a Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) questionnaire in order to evaluate if she requires an in-depth mental health assessment.
