Physiological symptoms caused by pre-test anxiety include insomnia, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitation, inattention, memory loss, dry mouth, frequent urination, urgency, sweating, tremor and habitual depression. The symptoms of physical and mental anxiety caused by exams usually heal after the exams, and the pressure is reduced. However, some candidates' anxiety is not reduced after the exams, but it is more serious. If you let yourself go to the psychological counseling center in time, it will even lead to depression among teenagers.
How do young students ease their anxiety about exams?
1, Adjusting Breathing Method When you are faced with emotional tension, you might as well take a deep breath, which will help relieve stress and eliminate anxiety and tension. When you feel anxious, your pulse speeds up and your breathing speeds up. Deep breathing can force you to slow down your breathing rate and convince your body that your anxiety is over.
2, self-suggestion method When anxiety strikes, you can repeatedly tell yourself, "I will succeed!" This will gradually eliminate the instinctive reaction of shortness of breath and cold sweat on your hands, and make your intelligent reaction gradually emerge.
3, venting shouting is a good way to vent emotions. Whether you are yelling or screaming, you can vent your anxiety in time.

What should parents do in the face of their children's anxiety before the exam?
Parents should treat their children's scores rationally and create a relaxed family atmosphere. Don't make the family atmosphere extremely tense because there are candidates at home, and don't give children too high expectations and exert invisible pressure because of their face problems and not being admitted to college in the past.
Dr. Changsha Xin's psychological consultation reminds parents that in order not to let their children have too much pressure, respect their thoughts and wishes, and believe that "everyone has a sky", it may have unexpected effects to treat their children's test scores with a normal heart. Therefore, parents should treat it with a correct attitude, without special expectations or indifference.
