It interferes with the activities of daily life and can cause physical symptoms such as pain, weight loss or gain, sleeping pattern disruptions, or lack of energy. Things that used to be pleasurable may no longer be.<\/p>\n

People with depression may also experience an inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. Around 1 in 10 people experience depression in their lifetime and women are more likely to suffer from it than men.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”subtext”]Source: apa.org<\/a><\/sub>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”button-01″]<\/p>\n

People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry, for example eye contact with others, or leaving their house. They may also have physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, dizziness, rapid heartbeat or panic attacks.<\/p>\n

Anxiety is not the same as fear; it is considered a future-oriented, long-acting response broadly focused on a perceived threat whereas fear is focused on a specific, present threat. Anxiety is fear of \u201cwhat could happen\u201d. It can be generalized (overall state of worry and unease) or specific (phobias, social anxiety).
