Counseling for Depression and Anxiety – Therapists and Counselors in Providence

Everybody feels worry or sadness at some point in life. These are normal reactions to the everyday emotional journey that people experience. Anxiety and depressive disorders are different – they can cause such high levels of distress and unhappiness that they begin to impede one’s ability to function in everyday life. Diagnosis of these conditions can sometimes be hard to achieve, but it is integral to working one’s way to a cure through treatment.

If you are struggling with anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, or both, don’t hesitate to reach out to Thriveworks Providence. We can offer you compassionate, quick support. Contact us today to get started.

Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression

Some of the more common symptoms experienced by an affected individual include:

Anxiety Symptoms

• Constant worry.
• Restlessness.
• Lack of sleep.
• Heart palpitations.

Depression Symptoms

• Intense emotions such as sadness and grief.
• Unusually persistent emotions.
• Lethargy.

How Do Depression And Anxiety Develop?

Like in the case of other health conditions, there are various factors that may lead to the development of depression and anxiety. Family history and genetic elements are great predictors of the diseases. A person with a family history of depression or anxiety is, as research suggests, more likely to develop one of the disorders in response to traumatic life events such as loss of a loved one or a divorce. As a general rule, a trigger-like traumatic event or life episode is the key to understanding why some individuals develop depressive or anxiety disorders.
