ABSTRACT

This study examines the impact of anxiety and codependency on mental health outcomes in heterosexual cisgender individuals compared to LGBTQ+ populations. Utilizing a survey questionnaire method, data was collected from a diverse sample of participants representing both demographics. The questionnaire comprised validated measures to assess levels of anxiety and co-dependency, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of the psychological dynamics within each group. Findings suggest noteworthy differences in the manifestation and severity of anxiety and co- dependency between the two groups. LGBTQ+ individuals exhibited higher levels of co-dependency alongside varied expressions of anxiety. These results shed light on the unique psychological challenges faced by each group, underscoring the importance of tailored interventions and support systems. Further exploration of the underlying factors contributing to these disparities is warranted to inform targeted mental health strategies and promote inclusive care practices.
