Abstract
This comprehensive review synthesizes a wide array of studies investigating the intricate relationship between family dynamics and adolescent Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) using a literature review approach. Briefly analyzed and summarized the relationship between Generalized Anxiety Disorder and theories such as social learning theory, psychodynamic theory, and Bronfenbrenners ecological systems theory. The consensus across numerous investigations suggests a substantial impact of family relationships on the prevalence and manifestation of GAD among adolescents. Notably, findings consistently underscore the significance of parent-adolescent interactions and the quality of inter-parental relationships in shaping adolescent anxiety levels. However, most studies employ cross-sectional designs, limiting the establishment of conclusive long-term causal links. Also, prevalent self-report evaluations for anxiety disorders among adolescents pose limitations, lacking comprehensive, objective assessments that may affect research outcomes. Addressing these limitations in future studies is critical to comprehensively elucidate the nuanced relationship between adolescent GAD and family dynamics.
