Anxiety And Symptoms Of Depression

Anxiety stems from a fear of the future, whether known or unknown. It is common and natural to experience anxiety in life. however, when there is no true reason or cause to feel anxiety and someone still has it, they have a problem

Depression stems from a feeling of loss. It is the reaction to having lost something that was considered important. The roots lie in the past. While it is normal to feel depressed from time to time, it should not be debilitating or prolonged.

Although they seem exclusive it is entirely possible for anxiety to lead to depression since anxiety destroys self-worth and self-esteem. furthermore, the opposite is also true because a depressed person will often become anxious and afraid of the unknown future.

To make matters worse, both can affect the body in physical ways making a persons health and well-being a factor

Symptoms

Depression manifests itself as a lack of interest in life itself, pessimism and a belief that the future holds nothing of value.

There can be a feeling of hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness, and helplessness. Any of these feelings on a daily or regular basis is a very good indicator of depression. Other common symptoms are loss of interest in the activities and a decrease in energy in general.

Symptoms of anxiety could include shortness of breath, headaches or migraines, heart palpitations, hyperventilation, an inability to concentrate, loss of sleep, irritability and the loss of a sense of personal security.

Unfortunately, the depth of the depression or degree of anxiety depends on individual circumstances and a sufferer's personality.

Treatment:

In both cases, it is absolutely essential that the reasons for depression or anxiety is understood. with depression the sufferer almost always knows what causes it. with anxiety, if it is considered a problem, the cause is often unknown.

The treatment for anxiety is usually some form of psychological treatment combined with medication.

With depression, a knowledge of the stages a depressive will experience as the depression takes hold, helps a sufferer to understand what is happening to him or her.

Prescribed drugs for either depression or anxiety, must only be taken on a temporary basis as a sufferer can become dependent on them.

Some self-help techniques also have shown themselves to be effective as with Anti-Anxiety Training. a technique of self-help that allows someone to learn the warning signs and to take steps to prevent themselves from becoming overwhelmed.
