Anxiety and depression are mental illnesses that unfortunately go hand in hand. Anxiety makes you feel like you’re not doing something you’re supposed to be doing.

What Do Anxiety and Depression Look Like?
As we briefly touched on before, anxiety and depression have a lot of overlapping symptoms that can make it difficult to distinguish between the two sometimes. After a period of anxiety, you might become depressed about your experience. And vice versa. Here are some common signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression:
- Symptoms of Anxiety: Fatigue, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, irritability, agitation, tension, excessive sweating, increased heartrate.
- Symptoms of Depression: Insomnia or hypersomnia, depressed mood, lack of interest in daily activities, low self-esteem, irritability, tension, and thoughts or actions of suicide.
As you can tell, a lot of symptoms overlap. If you are experiencing any or all of the ones listed above or feel like you might be battling these mental illnesses, consider reaching out to our office. Our therapists can not only help you overcome these feelings, but accurately diagnose you.
Getting Help: What to Expect
Deciding to seek out the help of a therapist isn’t always an easy decision. Plus, if you’ve never been to therapy before it may seem a little scary or intimidating. However, working with a therapist is actually pretty easy and straightforward. When you begin, your therapist will work with you to understand what your goals and needs are, as well as to help you identify where the root causes of these emotions stems from. In doing so, they’ll come up with an individualized treatment plan that aims to help you start living a happier, healthier life.
Treating anxiety and depression is possible. And treating them properly can improve your overall quality of life. Some of our clients go months, even years, with no true answers as to what is causing their pain. We’ll help you change your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs surrounding the feelings you have in order to create more positive patterns. If you have been experiencing these difficult emotions on an ongoing basis, it may be time to contact a dedicated, trusted therapist. Recovery is possible.
