here is another post based on the prompt: When a client asks what caused their anxiety disorder, it's not always a simple answer. As we've learned, no single factor explains the development of anxiety; rather, it's a mix of biological, psychological, and social influences that interact over time (Comer & Comer, 2021, p. 43). In the video Anxiety Disorders, I was particularly moved by the story of the young woman who developed social anxiety after years of being bullied at school. She described intense fear of being judged, avoiding social events, and feeling physically ill at the thought of speaking in front of others. Her experience shows how prolonged negative social experiences can shape how someone views themselves and the world around them. For her story, I believe the Sociocultural model best explains the etiology of her anxiety disorder. This model emphasizes how social, cultural, and environmental factors, like family dynamics, peer relationships, and cultural expectations, play an important role in the development of mental health disorders (Comer & Comer, 2021, p. 46). In her case, being bullied and not having a strong support system made her feel unsafe and insecure around others. Those negative social experiences led to the anxiety she deals with now. Treatment guided by the Sociocultural model might include group therapy or family therapy, which aim to rebuild supportive social connections and challenge harmful social narratives (Comer & Comer, 2021, p. 49
