        abstract = {Background Mild Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is highly prevalent among young adults and significantly affects academic performance, social functioning, and quality of life. Conventional pharmacotherapy may produce dependency and adverse effects, prompting interest in complementary approaches. Homoeopathy emphasizes individualized treatment based on totality of symptoms derived from Materia Medica.  Objective:  To evaluate the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic treatment in mild GAD among young adults aged 18–26 years.  Methods:  A prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled experimental study was conducted on 111 patients diagnosed with mild GAD according to DSM-5 criteria described by the American Psychiatric Association. Patients were treated with individualized homoeopathic medicines selected on totality of symptoms. Outcome was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Statistical analysis was done using paired t-test.  Results:  Out of 111 patients, 82 (73.8%) showed marked improvement (>50% reduction in HAM-A score), 20 (18.0%) moderate improvement (25–50%), and 9 (8.1%) mild improvement (<25%). The mean HAM-A score reduced significantly from 17.8 ± 2.4 at baseline to 7.3 ± 2.6 at 12 weeks (p < 0.001).  Conclusion:  Individualized homoeopathic management demonstrated statistically significant improvement in mild GAD among young adults. Further randomized controlled trials are recommended.},
