INTRODUCTION
Well-being refers to being healthy and happy which is highly required for better life.
Happiness is the one which help to create better life and different benefits. Positive mental health
is the one which is there to provide better and effective lifestyle. The report revolves around the
root causes and effects of anxiety and panic attacks on adulthood which has age between 18 and
over. Adulthood is considerably the most important phase in anyone's life. Anxiety and
depression can create a huge obstacle when it comes to achievement of an individual's goals and
objectives (Adams et al 2019). One of the biggest problem that might arise due to this situation
might be a result of cognitive side of anxiety and depression. This means that the symptoms of
these things go unnoticed for long durations of time to a point where the treatment for these
things become difficult. A person having these problems at such an important time of his life
can result in a crater which the person have to work hard for the rest of his life in order to fill.
The dynamics that are required to draw reliable conclusions on the effects of anxiety on
adulthood includes development of understanding of anxiety and panic attacks on human body.
The report will also focus on the importance of adulthood in the life of an individual and use it as
a determining tool for the effects that these things have on the lives of an adult (Van Lieshout et
al 2018). The basic needs for the conclusion revolves around the focusing on the growth
opportunities and how these things can accumulate in order to become an obstacle on the day to
life on an individual along with the future employability.
The aims and objectives of the intervention revolves around drawing a reliable
conclusion on how these dynamics effect the life of an average adult (Gallo et al 2018). The
study also revolves around the positive and negative impacts of anxiety on life of an adult. This
report also reflects on the measures that can be undertaken by an average adult in mitigating
these risks arising due to anxiety in day to day lives as well as the future employability of an
average adult.
The theories and models used in the study are. The cognitive theory of anxiety where the
symptoms associated with the issues are so minute that they are often unnoticed to a point where
these problems become huge. The study also reflects the theory of denial. This theory have
several folds, often these dynamics are denied by the patient or their families as in some sections
of globe these things are just textbook theories. This study also focuses on the controversial
theory that revolves around the positive impacts of anxiety. The theory suggests that although
1

these things have countless negative impacts but on the other hand these things helps in self
realization, changing the vision of an individual towards things, helps a person to adapt in
accordance to working under pressure, etc.
The approaches that this study revolves around are Comparison between the importance
of adulthood in consideration of effects of anxiety and panic attacks. The comparison and
relationship between these dynamics and day to day life along with future employability of an
individual (Huh et al 2017). Evaluation in order to reach a conclusion on which the evaluation is
established are consideration of aims and objective of study, analysing them in accordance to the
theories and models, using the approaches to accumulate the dynamics and reach a reliable
conclusion.
The report concludes the effects of anxiety and panic attacks during the phase of
adulthood on the life of an individual. The effect might include development of phobias, social
anxiety disorder, loss of confidence, post-traumatic stress disorder, enhanced chances of stress
eating disorders. The accumulated results of these problems not only creates an obstacle in an
individual's day to day life but it effects the future employability structure of that individual as
well. Adulthood is considered a phase where an individual puts efforts in order to establish an
outline and standards for the rest of his life. The report also concludes that these things also
makes an individual more prone to chronic diseases, due to insufficient intake which is a result of
anxiety and depression.
SUBMITTIVE ASSESSMENT
This report revolves around the effects that anxiety and panic attacks have on an
individual's adult life. The report also focuses on identification public health priority and
establishment of health promotions techniques in order to assist the growth in the sector where
focus in laid on providing the services that leads to an aid of these illnesses in order to mitigate
the negative effects these dynamics have on day to day life as well as the future employability of
an adult. The report revolves around the positive and negative impacts of anxiety in an
individual's life along with the medical development and the practices associated with making
the availability of these services in accordance to the accessibility as well as affordability
structure of the stakeholders. The report takes help of different methodologies and theories to
support the arguments.
The need assessment of this study revolves around the following dynamics:
2

Deficiency of awareness – Despite of the efforts being put in by concerned non-profit
organizations along with WHO (Adams et al 2019), there are parts of the globe where mental
illnesses are not even taken into consideration. Mental illnesses in some part of the world are not
even considered illnesses or even a point of discussion. Therefore, people suffering from anxiety
and disorder suffer, as the means for its treatment are not available. Even if they try to reach for
help it is either out of their accessibility criteria or they are not able to afford it with the resources
that they have.
Deficiency of ethics in medical institutions – Medical institutional code of conduct is
based on strong values and ethics. Even after the approaches undertaken by World Health
Organization (Horner et al 2017), the negligence of such critical issues from medical institutional
side is unacceptable. At such an important phase of human life the effects that these dynamics
have can be devastating.
Deficiency in initiation of appropriate practices – Even after development of the
understanding of these issues. Many organizations all over the globe just don't have the resources
to acquire the necessary medical treatment for these issues. In order to successfully treat a patient
with anxiety a medical organization needs to have expertise with regards to the medical
practitioners. Many medical institutions are unable to provide the treatment for anxiety as the
necessary medications for the same are not within the reach of their suppliers and even if they
can acquire it, the cost incurred in the acquisition of these services makes them unaffordable to a
huge number of their customers.
The aims and objectives set with regards to the acquisition as well as supply of these
services are as follows:
Development of understanding of how critical these issues are – one of the most
important thing and the foremost step that should be taken by any medical institution should be
developing an understanding about how crucial these issues are. The more the people know
about these issues, the people who reach out for help will improve and hence the organizations
will be able to help as much people.
Acquisition of appropriate medical resources – It should be the goal of medical
institutions to establish an outline for acquisition of concerned medical services (Huh et al 2017).
As discussed above many organizations do not have the resources to deal with these issues.
Therefore, organizations have to collect data and analyse every possible way for acquisition of
3

thee resources and find the most suitable one and use it to acquire these resources at a cost
benefit so that the services are affordable enough by their customers.
Following the ethical policies post-acquisition period – The ethical policies of any
medical organization pushes them towards helping as much people as possible and not towards
the path of profit maximization (Gallo et al 2017). If a medical organization acquire the services
required for the treatment of anxiety, for some time they become the monopoly for the services
and therefore they should focus on serving as much customers as possible rather than focusing
on their profit maximization.
Active monitoring of market for opportunities regarding the issue – Post the acquisition
of these services these medical organizations have to actively monitor the environment (Van
Lieshout et al 2018), in order to find better opportunities in a way that they can improve their
qualities and decrease their prices. In this manner these medical organizations will be able to
provide good quality services at affordable prices.
The theories and models taken into consideration while doing this study are:
Ethical theory in healthcare facilities – The code of conduct for medical organizations
depends upon strict ethical values. The organization have to prioritize helping those in need. In
the case of anxiety and panic attacks in the age of adulthood the organization have to first
develop an understanding of these dynamics. This way they can encourage all who faces
difficulties regarding the same issue.
The theory of affordability and accessibility- The organizations have to consider the
theory that focuses on accessibility and affordability of these services in accordance to the
stakeholders. The medical organizations have to put efforts and acquire these resources in a
manner that they are not too expensive for the people who need it. Post acquisition the
organization have to focus on helping the people who are being affected by it rather than
focusing on profit maximization.
The theory of social justice – The theory of social justice revolves around having equal
medical facilities for all, free from any discriminatory practices and irrespective of their
accessibility and affordability structure (Blease et al 2017).
The approaches undertaken in order to draw reliable conclusions on the basis of the
above dynamics are as follows, Cognitive theory associated with anxiety, The theory of denial,
The controversial theory of positive impacts of anxiety (Monteverde 2016). The approaches that
4

establishes an outline for this study are, comparison between the importance of adulthood in
consideration of effects of anxiety and panic attacks and the comparison and relationship
between these dynamics and day to day life along with future employability of an individual.
Evaluation in order to reach a conclusion on which the evaluation is established are consideration
of aims and objective of study, analysing them in accordance to the theories and models, using
the approaches to accumulate the dynamics and reach a reliable conclusion.
The dynamics that are required to draw reliable conclusions on the effects of anxiety on
adulthood includes development of understanding of anxiety and panic attacks on human body
(Leget et al 2019). The report will also focus on the importance of adulthood in the life of an
individual and use it as a determining tool for the effects that these things have on the lives of an
adult (Ebbs et al 2020). The basic needs for the conclusion revolves around the focusing on the
growth opportunities and how these things can accumulate in order to become an obstacle on the
day to life on an individual along with the future employability.
The aims and objectives of the intervention revolves around drawing a reliable
conclusion on how these dynamics effect the life of an average adult (Fiester 2020). The study
also revolves around the positive and negative impacts of anxiety on life of an adult. This report
also reflects on the measures that can be undertaken by an average adult in mitigating these risks
arising due to anxiety in day to day lives as well as the future employability of an average adult.
The theories and models used in the study are. The cognitive theory of anxiety where the
symptoms associated with the issues are so minute that they are often unnoticed to a point where
these problems become huge (Adhikari et al 2016). The study also reflects the theory of denial.
This theory have several folds, often these dynamics are denied by the patient or their families as
in some sections of globe these things are just textbook theories. This study also focuses on the
controversial theory that revolves around the positive impacts of anxiety. The theory suggests
that although these things have countless negative impacts but on the other hand these things
helps in self realization, changing the vision of an individual towards things, helps a person to
adapt in accordance to working under pressure, etc. This is the one which is there able to provide
the psychology of human behaviour in relation to get better understanding about different
situation and for better health.
The approaches that this study revolves around are Comparison between the importance of
adulthood in consideration of effects of anxiety and panic attacks. The comparison and
5

relationship between these dynamics and day to day life along with future employability of an
individual. Evaluation in order to reach a conclusion on which the evaluation is established are
consideration of aims and objective of study (Iserson 2020), analysing them in accordance to the
theories and models, using the approaches to accumulate the dynamics and reach a reliable
conclusion.
The report concludes that awareness is being generate in towards how critical these
dynamics are when it comes to an individual's life. Organizations all over the globe are using
their resources in order to make the cure for this issue available for all those who need it. The
report also concludes that the negative impacts of this issue on adulthood are critical enough to
subdue the positive impacts of it. When it comes to raising awareness about these issues the
World Health Organization uses different approaches and platforms to mitigate the risks of denial
as well as the cognitive effects of these dynamics on an adult's life. The report also focuses on
the methodologies used by healthcare organizations all over the globe for acquisition of
resources that are required in order to the risks arising due to these illnesses. The report revolves
around the ethical theory of equal access to healthcare facilities for all in order to enhance the
growth in the sector and the approaches undertaken to enable the availability of these facilities in
accordance to the accessibility and affordability structure of all those who need it.
