Resumen
Desansiedad is a web-based foundation that offers mental health assistance. In the last decade, it has expanded from its initial blog form into a transmedia platform. Many media outlets have played their part in the creation of its consistent overarching narrative around anxiety as its main matter of concern. Each of them develops the implications of anxiety disorders from different angles by exploiting the highlights and features of media such as Youtube videos, blogs, podcasts, emergency kits, books, discussion forums, Instagram reels, live-streaming webinars, etc. Previous research has explored transmedia storytelling intervention with interactive elements for the benefit of Latin women in the USA. Here, the ethnic group, geographic zone and transmedial scope of action for consumer-patients were limited. This research paper proposes a transmedia approach of an online platform in the innovative field of psychological assistance for people with anxiety disorders in Hispanoamerica. This project meets the requirements of what the World Health Organisation identifies as an urgent need in the face of a post-pandemic world with an increase of 25% in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide. Findings indicate that this immersive multi-channel experience endows patients with the privileged position of being protagonists of their own self-discovery process; a method that considerably improves their quality of life.
