This review examines the impact of social, cultural, and lifestyle factors on anxiety disorders. It explores how traumatic events like parent social phobia, maternal stress, and abuse contribute to anxiety. Social determinants such as socioeconomic status, cultural norms, ethnicity, and gender influence anxiety levels across diverse populations. Lifestyle factors, including financial stability, time in nature, pet ownership, materialistic values, and social media use, also play significant roles in anxiety management. Regular physical activity, mental engagement, and healthy circadian rhythms can alleviate anxiety, while poor health habits like alcohol consumption and high body mass index may exacerbate it.
