Several factors trigger the onset of anxiety, including academic aspects, problems with family relationships, characteristics of relation with peers, and the utilization of the internet, especially social media. Some adolescent behaviour occur due to the addiction to playing social media, such as sleep disturbances and sedentary behaviour, which eventually lead to anxiety problems in adolescents.
