Depression and Anxiety

Depression is considered as a mood disorder. It can be defined as a feeling of sorrow, loss, or rage that interferes with an individual's daily activities. It is also fairly common. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source reports that in any given two-week period from 2013 to 2016, 8.1% of American adults aged 20 and over had depression. In different ways, people experience depression. It is considered as an important medical condition that can get worse without proper treatment. Individuals seeking treatment often see changes in symptoms in just a matter of weeks.

Anxiety is an emotion which is natural and sometimes its good. However, it can become a medical condition when a person consistently experiences disproportionate amounts of anxiety. Anxiety disorders are a category of psychiatric disorders that are marked by severe anxiety and fear sensations. Anxiety is an anxiety about events in the future, and fear is a reaction to current events. Such sensations, such as a quick heart rate and shakiness, can trigger physical symptoms.
