general mood disorders more prevalent?
Anxiety Question:
Are anxiety, depression and general mood disorders more prevalent now than ever before?
Anxiety Answer:
I believe anxiety and depression issues have existed forever but today they are either abused, doctors just throw around the label to give someone something to hang on to, or people self diagnose and give themselves the label of being depressed, anxious, etc.
I also believe that there is more awareness these days and it's okay to talk about mental illness, or life's challenges and the effects that stress, anxiety and worry have on our mental outlook.
We all have the capacity to get down now and again but that doesn't mean that we should carry about the label of being depressed.
Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders affect lots of people for lots of reasons and getting to the root cause of those reasons is of utmost importance. Not just masking them.
