Anxiety Disorders Become the Most Reported Mental Health Issue in Indonesia
Public awareness in Indonesia regarding the importance of mental health has continued to increase throughout 2026. This is evident from the high usage rates of mental health consultation services via digital platforms, one of which is Halodoc.
Based on the latest data from Halodoc, anxiety disorders were the most common diagnosis found during the first semester of 2026. This condition indicates that many people are beginning to have the courage to seek professional help to address their mental health issues.
Anxiety disorder itself is a psychological condition that causes a person to feel excessively anxious or fearful in their daily life. The triggering factors can be very diverse, ranging from work pressure and family problems to the demands of an increasingly fast-paced modern lifestyle.
Ease of access through online consultation platforms is considered the main factor why the public is more open to seeking consultations. With these services, users can speak with psychologists or psychiatrists without having to feel embarrassed or hindered by distance and time.
The increase in the number of consultations is expected to be a positive first step for the health of the Indonesian public. Health experts continue to urge the public not to hesitate to seek help if they feel their mental health is beginning to be compromised, for the sake of a better quality of life.
