Anxiety Depression Symptoms
Can Damage Your Spirit
Sandra did not know that a person could suffer from
anxiety and depression symptoms at the same time.
"My doctor was treating me for anxiety and I would have a few good days, but most of the time I had a feeling of overwhelming sadness and felt a complete lack of hope."
When Sandra told her doctor about her symptoms, he told her that she was suffering from anxiety and depression symptoms and worked out a treatment plan to help her feel better.
He explained that the psychological and biological nature of anxiety and depression are much the same. Some people, he explained, are vulnerable and react with anxiety to the inevitable stressors of life.
Other people go beyond that and suffer from depression as well.
Dr. David Barlow, Ph.D and director of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University explains it this way:
"Depression seems to be a shutdown. Anxiety is a kind of looking to the future, seeing dangerous things that the sufferer believes can happen and reacting with a .crippling level of fear."
Depression is all of that plus the additional feeling that you can't cope and should just give up. Depression is marked by mental, cognitive and behavioral slowing.
In Chris Green's informative and insightful booked titled "Conquering Stress," he writes about his personal experiences with depression and anxiety disorder.
"What's helped me beat stress and overcome my anxiety can help you overcome yours, be it anxiety or worry, panic attacks, depression or just a feeling of sadness that won't go away."
If you suffer from anxiety with depression, do not wait another minute to seek help. There are many treatment plans available that can help you reclaim your life. Do not let anxiety and depression symptoms suppress your spirit and dampen your joy of life.
