Anxiety and depression disorders are mental illnesses. They are the outcome of weakness or failure. What you think of as being depression or anxiety is really the result of underlying causes; it is not always the result of something that you did or didn’t do. The causes that contribute to your depression or anxiety will vary, it is not always the result of a traumatic event like the loss of a loved one. There are times when people lose their jobs and face financial doom and despair that results in deep depression that affects their ability to function normally and lead a normal life.
Medications can be prescribed by a doctor that will work for many people who are depressed and anxious. There are some symptoms that you might have to deal with if you are depressed or anxious, and these symptoms are very treatable. Your doctor might recommend medication and ask that you start taking the medication as soon as possible. Some people feel better immediately when they start taking antidepressants, but others report feeling worse before they feel better.
As with all medical conditions there are many causes, symptoms, and treatment options available. You should visit a doctor for more information on depression and anxiety disorders. There are some things you can do yourself if you are suffering from depression and anxiety. The most important thing is to seek help if you think you need it. Depression and anxiety can cause problems with your family and friends and even lead to other medical conditions, if you are not treated for depression and anxiety.
