Anxiety disorders are one of the most common forms of psychoemotional disorders that significantly affect a person’s quality of life. The aim is to provide a theoretical justification for the psychological characteristics of individuals with anxiety disorders based on an analysis of leading scientific approaches. The methodological basis consists of psychodynamic, behavioral, and biological approaches that reveal different aspects of anxiety formation. The results show that individuals with anxiety disorders have characteristic cognitive, emotional, and behavioral features. These features form a specific model of response to stress and social situations. A comprehensive study of the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral mechanisms of anxiety is the basis for the development of effective psychocorrectional and psychotherapeutic programs.

Key words: psychodynamic, behavioral, biological approaches, psychotherapy, anxiety disorder.
