    I'm not sure what to do. She had a panic attack when we saw a man dressed in a cat costume at the Perth Royal Show. A full on panic attack. She has a phobia for people in suits and clowns, crowds, loud people, boys etc. I don't know if I should take her to a child psychologist or not. I also suffer anxiety and am medicated for it and it runs heavily in my family. Not sure what to do.

    It's always better to intervene early if you can.
