How to Recognize a Depressive Anxiety Disorder Anxiety and depression disorders can make you feel anxious and depressed constantly Different factors can cause these disorders The symptoms vary by disorder but they do share many of the same signs A therapist will be able to identify your symptoms and help find the appropriate treatment 1 Genetics Researchers have long observed that anxiety tends to run in families If you have a sibling parent or twin with anxiety your chances of getting it yourself are higher than those of people who dont have family members who suffer from the disorder This is due to the fact that genes and DNA are involved in anxiety disorders One of the biggest studies on depression and anxiety found that they share many genes The QIMR Berghoferled research published in Nature Human Behaviour identifies 509 genetic regions that are responsible for both anxiety and depression This is the largest number of genomic regions linked to psychiatric disorders and it includes 71 that had never been linked to anxiety or depression Among the internalizing disorders the highest heritability or the percentage of a disorders symptoms that are geneticbased is seen in major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder Nongenetic risk factors for both of these conditions include early life challenges parenting style and stress exposure Another risk factor that is important is neuroticism a character characteristic or temperament that is associated with some genetic risk and has been associated with both anxiety and depression A genetic contribution to schizophrenia is much less well established because schizophrenics have multiple causes for their symptoms It is best to study twins to determine the genetic cause By comparing the incidence of an identical twin disorder monozygotic MZ to that of their nonidentical siblings dizygotic DZ researchers can determine the extent to which phenotypic similarities are due to shared environmental factors and how much is due to a persons genetics As the field of psychiatric genetics grows and more genetic regions that influence depression and anxiety will likely to be identified But it is equally important to keep in mind that individual differences will continue to exist within the supposedly strict mental health categories People who suffer from depression or anxiety at different times of their lives will have different experiences and may respond to treatment differently If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression Dont dismiss these symptoms Like you wouldnt overlook an injury to your arm its important to seek out assistance from a physician in case youre struggling 2 Stress Every person experiences stress at some point or another however it is

dishwasher can boost selfesteem and provide a distraction Anxiety is the state of worry or fear that can cause physical symptoms such as tension in the muscles restlessness and sleep disturbance People with generalized anxieties disorder are prone overly and constant anxiety about everyday issues such as work responsibilities family issues or financial worries They tend to be anxious or easily tired and feel overwhelmed by their thoughts even though they know their worries are not based on fact Both anxiety and depression are treatable But it is essential to choose the right therapist or program for you Psychological treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are effective in treating anxiety disorders and can be paired with

injury or fractured your arm 3 Personality If you are feeling down occasionally is normal persistent or prolonged sadness could be a sign of anxiety disorder People suffering from depression typically have a hard time getting excited or enjoying life because they are constantly thinking about whats happening or what others might think of them The good news is that depression and anxiety can be treated through therapy or medication The personality is a significant factor in anxiety and depressive disorders It can affect how much a persons symptom develops and it can predict the response to treatment People who have high levels of neuroticism for example tend to have lower treatment outcomes both in anxiety and depression Kennedy and colleagues 2005 Personality traits can help determine which type of therapy is best for a person In general people who have less neuroticism will have better results with cognitive behavioral therapy Both depression and anxiety are complex however effective treatments are available If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression it is important to see a doctor Your doctor can determine an underlying physical cause and prescribe medication if necessary It can be difficult to interact with others when you have both anxiety and depression This can make you feel more depressed because it can increase your loneliness People with anxiety also tend to be more selfcritical and ruminative which can make it difficult to find relief from depression The first step in treating depression and anxiety that are comorbid is to consult a mental health professional Together you will be able to create a treatment plan to address your particular symptoms Most of the time different forms of psychotherapy are recommended because what works to alleviate depression symptoms might not relieve anxiety symptoms and vice the reverse A common approach is to utilize cognitive behavior therapy CBT and medications to treat both of these conditions CBT helps you replace negative thoughts with more sensible and productive ones It can also assist you in developing coping skills to manage stress in an effective method For instance you could learn to concentrate on what you can control in control including accepting emotions and reactions and focus on the facts of a situation 4 Infirmity If these feelings persist and intense they may be a sign of depression or anxiety People with anxiety disorders may feel a sense of anxiety or fear over a range of things like work money or relationships People who suffer from depression feel depressed and lose interest in their daily activities Depression can also make a person feel tired or angry These symptoms can last for more than two weeks and are not due to a recent event or medical condition such as an illness or infection There is no single factor that causes depression or anxiety Genetics stress and personality are all key factors Cooccurring disorders such as anxiety and depressive disorder or anxiety and another psychiatric disorder such as posttraumatic disorder PTSD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are more frequent Several types of psychotherapy or talk therapy can help people with anxiety disorders and depression Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most wellknown and it can assist people to alter their behavior and thinking to decrease their anxiety Medications such as antidepressant and anxiety medications can also help You can ease your symptoms by getting enough sleep and avoiding the use of drinking and taking recreational drugs and eating a healthy diet exercising regularly and receiving social support Many people who suffer from depression and anxiety also find that their symptoms seem to play off of one another For instance anxiety may make a person avoid socializing or making new acquaintances which leads to depression Depression can worsen anxiety and cause feelings of isolation A mental health professional can identify whether or not depression is caused by a medical problem such as thyroid disease or a medication If there isnt a medical cause the treatment plan for anxiety and depression may be similar but it will likely include both talk therapy as well as medication Symptoms of both anxiety and depression generally improve with time though it can take longer for depression to heal than it does for anxiety
