Abstract

This research aims to describe the Humanistic Existential Perspective on depression and anxiety. The literature study on this perspective highlights the complexity of human experience in dealing with mental challenges. Being in the World is a key concept in existential humanism that highlights the interaction between humans and their environment. Humans are not only physically in the world, but also actively involved in cultural, social, and environmental influences. In their existence, humans experience a wide range of experiences, including joy, suffering, anxiety, and the search for the meaning of life. This approach emphasizes the importance of existence, meaning of life, self-awareness, responsibility, freedom of choice, openness, and individual involvement in overcoming depression and anxiety. Depression is seen as related to feelings of loss of meaning in life and dissatisfaction with existence, while anxiety often arises from fear and uncertainty. The results of this study provide valuable insights into how an existential humanistic approach can assist individuals in dealing with the mental challenges of depression and anxiety.
