Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported on Friday, September 11, 2026, that anxiety tends to increase with the arrival of autumn, and examined why this happens along with ways to handle it.
According to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, the shift into autumn is linked to a rise in anxious feelings for many people. The outlet framed the issue around two questions: the reasons behind the seasonal increase, and the practical steps that can help people manage it.
The report treats autumn-related anxiety as a seasonal pattern rather than an isolated experience, suggesting that the change of season itself plays a role in how some people feel.
Because only the headline and summary of the report were available, specific causes, figures, or recommended techniques cited by Al-Sharq Al-Awsat are not detailed here.
What to watch next: whether Al-Sharq Al-Awsat or other outlets publish fuller guidance on seasonal anxiety as autumn continues.
