        abstract = {Background: In 2026, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is recognized as a major global health challenge, significantly exacerbated by modern sedentary lifestyles that integrate low physical activity with high psychological stress. While conventional treatments often focus on symptom suppression, homoeopathy offers a holistic alternative cantered on individualization treating the patient's unique totality of mental and physical symptoms. 
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of individualized homoeopathy in reducing anxiety levels and improving the quality of life (QoL) in adults aged 18–45 living sedentary lifestyles.
Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted with 50 participants diagnosed with GAD according to DSM-5 criteria, all exhibiting a sedentary daily routine (defined as >300 minutes of sitting). Patients received constitutional homoeopathic remedies (e.g., Nux vomica, Calcarea carb, Argentum Nitricum) selected via thorough repertorization. Outcomes were assessed over six months using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and the GAD-7 scale. 
Results: Preliminary 2025–2026 data indicate a significant reduction in mean HAM-A scores from "moderate-to-severe" (24.5) to "mild" (8.2) within 12 weeks of treatment. Participants reported marked improvements in psychosomatic symptoms typically associated with inactivity, such as muscle tension and digestive disturbances.},
