Modern society presents various achallenges that can affect adolescents as they transition into adulthood. Those who navigate this phase with fewer obstacles—particularly those who effectively manage crises like anxiety and depression—are more likely to achieve greater happiness and success. This study investigates the roles of self- esteem, social acceptance, and communication patterns in influencing anxiety and depression levels in adolescents. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the sample consisted of 250 adolescents, selected based on the Tabachnik and Fidel formula through an available sampling method. The findings indicate that higher levels of self-esteem, greater social acceptance, and effective communication patterns significantly contribute to reducing anxiety and depression among adolescents.
