Many people feel anxious or depressed and have experienced sadness, worry, anxiety, or nervousness at some point in time. These emotions are normal reactions to stressful and upsetting events like losing a loved one, going through a divorce, and being fired from a job.
While feeling anxious or depressed are common reactions to stressful events in life, some people experience these emotions on a day-to-day basis and sometimes seemingly for no reason at all. They find it is often difficult to keep up with daily life. These feelings interrupt usual routines and functioning. When a person struggles to keep going with everyday activities because of these feelings, he may suffer from depression or anxiety disorder – or both.
Anxiety disorders can cause a person to suffer terrifying fear—and their fears are about things that others would not think twice about. While the individuals with the disorder are aware that their thoughts are irrational, they are unable to prevent them.
When a person is anxious, they have a tendency to think about some worry or problem and feel bad about it. They feel as if they’ve failed, and the result is, many times, that they move on to depression. The risk of developing depression in addition to an anxiety disorder is high. In fact nearly half of the people who have major depression also have anxiety. One can trigger the other.
There may be a biological predisposition to depression and anxiety disorders.
