Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health conditions, often characterized by excessive worry, avoidance behaviors, and impaired decision-making. One underlying mechanism that has received increasing attention is learned helplessness, a cognitivebehavioral pattern in which individuals perceive their actions as ineffective in influencing outcomes. This study proposes a cognitive model linking learned helplessness to decisionmaking deficits in anxiety disorders. The model suggests that repeated experiences of uncontrollability foster maladaptive cognitive schemas, which in turn bias risk perception, reduce self-efficacy, and impair adaptive choices. Drawing on existing empirical evidence, the paper integrates insights from cognitive psychology, clinical research, and behavioral economics to explain how helplessness mediates the relationship between anxiety and decision-making. The proposed model highlights potential intervention points for therapeutic approaches, including cognitive restructuring, decision-making training, and resilience-building strategies. By elucidating the cognitive mechanisms of helplessness in anxiety, this work aims to provide a theoretical foundation for future empirical studies and clinical applications.
