Transtorno de ansiedade e os impactos no contexto familiar

Abstract

1.698 / 5.000 Anxiety is an emotion directed toward future events that may or may not happen, turning the moment into intense fear and apprehension about a certain event. It is the most common mental disorder and affects both the individual and their family members. This study, based on Aaron Beck's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), relates to the concept of schemas, which exerts an integral influence on the individual's emotions and behaviors. Based on this, the objective of this research is to identify the impacts that anxiety disorder can have in the context of family life. The study seeks to explore the general aspects of the disorder that influence the behavior, thoughts and emotions of family members, contributing to a deeper understanding of how these impacts interfere in family life. The studies come from a bibliographic review taking as reference CBT authors, who contribute to the topic in question. The results show that the environment in which a person lives has a significant impact on their mental health. In Brazil, approximately 9% of the population faces biopsychosocial difficulties due to anxiety. The study highlights that poverty worsens the incidence of mental disorders and their effects on the community, highlighting the influence of social class on mental health. It is concluded that measures such as rotating caregivers, strengthening emotional bonds, attention to the physical and mental health of all those involved and multidisciplinary monitoring are essential, in addition to seeking public assistance that promotes equity and better living conditions, enabling healthier coexistence.
