When these arise, it is important that you seek the assistance of a mental health professional or doctor in your Manhattan, New York, community.
Anxiety and depression can co-exist and likely are manifestations of similar causes. What’s important is to identify the root cause for each individual. Still, it is helpful to understand how many people experience each condition. Depression is often associated with feelings of worthlessness and a downward spiral of emotional or sad feelings and thoughts. It can manifest as fatigue and low motivation, among other things. Anxiety, on the other hand, leans more towards extreme fear or worry.
There are several causes of mental and emotional disorders that can be factored into getting a proper diagnosis of depression or anxiety. For some, it is genetics, a predisposition to depression and anxiety through family heritage. For others, it can be a reaction to a past or current event, traumas, prescription drug side effects, effects of recreational drugs, physical illness, etc.
