Many people experience anxiety and depression to distressing events. When the conditions become chronic, it points to a problem much larger than a simple case of nerves or the blues. Anxiety disorder causes people to experience profound emotions of worry, panic, or fear regularly. Physical symptoms may include a racing heart, sweating, difficulty breathing, and shakiness. Depression may cause someone to feel disinterested, unmotivated, sad, hopeless, discouraged, or negative. When this occurs regularly, it can impact work, school, and relationships with others. Thus, it’s vital to look for professional help to restore mental health and heal. Integrative Life Center offers anxiety and depression treatment using a variety of therapies.
Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression
Almost everyone is impacted by anxiety and depression. Because both conditions are the most common mental health issues in the country, either you or someone you know has or will suffer from them. Both depression and anxiety cause significant mood and behavioral changes. It’s important to be able to recognize symptoms of each to anxiety, and depression treatment can be gotten in time. For example, some symptoms of depression include:
- Feelings of sadness and irritability
- Loss of interest in enjoyable activities such as hobbies, sex, sports, etc.
- Sleep disturbance, sleeping too much or too little.
- Increased or reduced appetite
- Lack of concentration
- Unexplained aches and pains
Similarly, a few common symptoms of anxiety include:
- Restlessness or feeling on edge
- Worry
- Increased irritability
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep issues
If any of these symptoms arise and persist for more than a few days, then you or a loved one needs to seek professional help. Early treatment can greatly reduce and even eliminate symptoms. Here at Integrative Life Center, we approach treatment holistically offering therapies such as:
- Adventure therapy
- Trauma-informed therapy
- Music therapy
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Dialectical behavioral therapy
- Suicide treatment
Co-occurring Disorders
While anxiety and depression are not the same thing, the two conditions often occur at the same time. Overlapping symptoms may include nervousness, irritability, difficulty sleeping, and trouble concentrating. Many patients with depression also have a history of anxiety disorder. Our anxiety and depression support services help address both conditions at the same time, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment overall. Both anxiety and depression may also co-occur with chemical dependency or addictions. It is essential to address all facets of dual diagnosis in one’s treatment plan for the most effective results. Anxiety and depression can impact a person’s daily life, including behavior, function, thoughts, and emotions. Anxiety and depression have no age limits. They can affect children, teens, and adults alike.
