Is it Anxiety or Depression?

Anxiety, Panic attacks, depression, obsessive thinking, and other disorders may be experienced by themselves or in combination. It takes an experienced and trained professional to differentiate the nuances to treat appropriately and effectively

 

Anxiety and depression are treatable, it's not your fault, your moods don't have to control you.  Through Cognitive and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you can get better and live the life you're meant to live. 

Depression

Everyone experiences grief and bereavement differently and at their own pace. After going through a loss, it's common to feel you're on autopilot during the first year and seek professional help by the end of the second year. While unpredictable emotions and uncontrollable crying are normal, there is a significant difference between clinical depression and bereavement that requires a trained professional to assess, diagnose and treat. 

Depression

Depression tends to be thoughts of "gloom and doom." A sense of a "black cloud" and heaviness are common. Sleeping a lot, poor hygiene, difficulty accomplishing  tasks and a significant lack of motivation. At times, it can be weeks before a person leaves their home due to depression.

People with symptoms of bipolar disorder often experience symptoms of anxiety and/or adhd simultaneously. Maintaining professional or personal relationships can be challenging. It is possible and feasible to learn to manage and be in control of all of these symptoms and have meaningful, successful relationships and employment.

Dealing with anxiety and depression can affect self-worth and emotional health to such degree it can feel paralyzing. Identifying, understanding and working through triggers are essential to the process.  While unpredictable emotions and uncontrollable crying are common during the grieving process, there is a significant difference between clinical depression and bereavement that requires a trained and experienced professional to assess, diagnose and appropriately treat.
