Anxiety disorders and depression often go together. Anxiety can wear you down and disrupt your life. Over time, you may feel frustrated, sad, and hopeless.
People with depression often feel hopeless. But most of them get better with treatment. If you have an anxiety disorder or feel depressed, talk with your doctor right away.
Symptoms of depression include:
- Feeling sad, grouchy, or tense for a long period
- Less interest or pleasure in usual activities or hobbies
- Loss of energy; feeling tired despite lack of activity
- A change in appetite with some weight gain or loss
- A change in sleeping patterns, like trouble sleeping, waking up too early, or sleeping too much
- Feeling restless or slowed down
- Less able to make decisions or concentrate
- Feeling worthless, hopeless, or guilty
- Thoughts of suicide or death
If you have more than one of these symptoms, talk with your doctor about whether you are suffering from depression.
If you are feeling suicidal, please contact your doctor, or go to your local hospital or emergency room.
