Depression and anxiety as significant barriers to well-being in a changing world

Keywords: Anxiety, Depression, New Causes

Abstract

Depression and anxiety were viewed for many years as undiagnosed emotional diseases. People eventually experience grief or anxiety due to new factors including biological warfare, political unrest, climate change, and nuclear war threats in addition to economic degradation and a fall in the number of plant species. Through the findings of studies and surveys conducted in the previous ten years, this essay seeks to shed light on the connection between anxiety, depression, and the new causes.
