An association among lower self-esteem and increased anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation was detected. Conclusions: Self-esteem is associated with anxiety, depression, and academic stress, which significantly affect students' quality of life and links to suicidal ideation. There is a lot of speculation surrounding the relationship between anxiety and low self-esteem. Some people believe that having low self-esteem is a sign of underlying anxiety, while others believe that low self-esteem is a result of anxiety. However, the research is inconclusive and more research is needed to clarify the link between the two. Some studies have found that low self-esteem is a predictor of anxiety, while other studies have not found a clear link between the two. It is possible that the relationship between anxiety and low self-esteem is complex and multi-layered. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between the two conditions.
