ANSIEDADE NA ADOLESCÊNCIA: COMO A CONVIVÊNCIA FAMILIAR CONTRIBUI NO SEU DESENVOLVIMENTO

Abstract

This article addresses the significant impact of family interaction on the development of anxiety in adolescence, a relevant topic given the prevalence of anxiety disorders in Brazil, as pointed out by the World Health Organization. The study uses a bibliographic research methodology, including searches in Google Scholar and literature review of renowned authors in the field of Cognitive Behavioral Psychology. The main objective of the paper is to understand the role that anxiety plays in the lives of adolescents, the influence of the family environment, and possible ways to mitigate its detrimental effects. The study emphasizes the importance of family as an essential anchor for the healthy development of the individual, especially during identity and personality formation. The study's findings highlight that anxiety, while a real and enduring illness, can be controlled and prevented from becoming a debilitating force in an individual's life. Furthermore, it highlights the vital role that the family can play in this process by providing emotional support, structure, and guidance needed to cope with this challenge.
