Constructed Emotion, Depression, Anxiety, AdolescenceAbstract
Adolescence Depression and anxiety are so prevalent that they have become a public concern. However, the causes of depression and anxiety and their treatment remain largely unknown. This paper investigates constructed emotion, which is the process of constructing emotions in brains to respond to different circumstances. Through this new theory, psychologists can explain the formation of depression and anxiety in adolescence through peer pressures, past experiences, or the development of brains. This paper indicates some statistics about Adolescence Depression and anxiety while proposing some possible causation of these mental disorders investigating several reasons for the causation of Adolescence Depression and anxiety, and trying to explain them in terms of constructed emotion theory. Besides, this paper proposes some general treatments for depression and anxiety, such as flexible treatment that requires individual treatment and case studies. However, constructed emotion is still in the stage of development, and further research needs to be applied to understand the process of depression and anxiety fully.
