Influence of Family Environment on Adolescents’ Anxiety Disorder

Abstract

This paper will discuss how the family environment influences adolescents' anxiety disorder in a specific way, such as parenting style, family relationships, and members' attitudes towards sex and orientation. This research relies on studies and papers on Google Scholar and PubMed under the main keywords. All these reasons will negatively affect adolescents with a mental disorder, specifically anxiety disorder, which is typical for teenagers as it can share features of excessive fear and anxiety. We conducted research according to the adolescent age group suggested by WHO as between 10 to 19 in many ways, such as parenting style, family relationships, and attitudes toward sexual orientation. Parenting style refers to how parents communicate with adolescents. This family relationship is how two or more people feel and behave towards other, family members' attitude towards sexual orientation, which is a person’s sexual identity about the gene to which they are attracted. If not treated immediately and continuously, anxiety disorder will negatively affect individuals due to its etiology generation by generation.
