Unveiling the Common Roots of Anxiety: How My-E-Health Provides Effective Solutions
Anxiety is a universal experience, affecting millions of people worldwide. Whether it's a fleeting sense of worry or a chronic condition, anxiety can significantly impact one's quality of life. Interestingly, despite the diverse manifestations of anxiety, many challenges stem from similar underlying causes. Factors such as stress, insecurity, self-esteem issues, and situational pressures from home, work, school, or social environments often contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders. Understanding these roots is pivotal in addressing anxiety effectively. At My-E-Health , we specialize in uncovering these foundational causes through our comprehensive psychometric assessments, innovative AI coaches, and personalized one-to-one support, offering a path toward lasting well-being.
The Prevalence of Anxiety
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions globally. According to the World Health Organization (2017), approximately 264 million people suffer from anxiety disorders worldwide. This prevalence highlights that anxiety is not just an individual struggle but a widespread concern transcending age, culture, and geography.
Common Roots of Anxiety
Despite the varied symptoms and types of anxiety disorders—such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias—many share similar foundational causes:
Understanding these common roots is essential because it shifts the focus from merely managing symptoms to addressing the underlying causes, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes.
Integrating the Argument
The challenges posed by anxiety disorders often stem from interconnected causes rather than isolated factors. For instance, stress from work can lead to insecurity about job performance, which in turn may lower self-esteem and exacerbate anxiety (Russell & Topham, 2012). Similarly, situational pressures such as a demanding school environment can contribute to stress and feelings of inadequacy, fuelling anxiety symptoms (Lee & Larson, 2000).
Addressing these intertwined causes requires a holistic approach. By identifying and understanding the shared roots of anxiety—like stress, insecurity, and environmental pressures—interventions can be more precisely targeted. This comprehensive perspective aligns with the biopsychosocial model, which considers biological, psychological, and social factors in mental health (Engel, 1977).

By focusing on common roots such as stress and self-esteem issues, interventions can be more effective. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), for example, targets negative thought patterns and has been shown to be highly effective in treating anxiety disorders (Hofmann, Asnaani, Vonk, Sawyer, & Fang, 2012).
