Anxiety is a multifactorial psychological condition that affects millions of individuals across age groups and sociocultural contexts. This article aims to analyze, through the lens of scientific psychology, the diagnostic, etiological, and therapeutic aspects of anxiety disorders, excluding non-empirical approaches. It discusses the theoretical foundations of anxiety, contributions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychology, and developmental psychology, as well as empirical evidence of clinical efficacy. The text also addresses comorbidities with other mental disorders, somatic manifestations of anxiety, and the importance of evidence-based psychological practice. The article seeks to contribute to the theoretical and practical training of mental health professionals, valuing a technical and scientific understanding of anxiety and its clinical implications.
