Depression & Anxiety

Depression and anxiety disorders often occur together. Feeling lonely, hopeless, and sad due to depression can make you afraid and anxious. In turn, feeling afraid and anxious may make you tired and more depressed. It’s a cycle.

There are several types of anxiety disorders. Each has its own symptoms. But they all have these things in common:

• Extreme fear and dread, even when there is no real danger


• Emotional distress that interferes with daily life


• Making changes to avoid situations that bring on anxiety

Like depression, anxiety disorders are treatable with counseling, medicine, or both. Your healthcare provider can discuss treatments for anxiety disorders with you.
