A little unnatural
Totally understandable but a bit unnatural.
This is how I would express your idea: Due to the authoritarian parenting style in Asian households, many Asian American adults have emotional problems, such as depression, anger, and low self esteem.
You could also say: Due to the authoritarian parenting style in Asian families, many Asian American adults suffer from emotional problems, such as depression, anger, and low self esteem.
Or lastly, you might say: Due to the authoritarian parenting style in Asian households, many Asian American adults have psychological problems, such as depression, anger, and low self esteem.
The main point here is that we don't say, 'psychological emotions' or 'problemed'. Also when saying 'problemed', which is a rare word to hear, truthfully I have neither used it myself or ever heard it used that I can recall, you would not use 'in' but rather 'by' or 'with'.
Hope this is useful!
