Anxious Depression
Anxiety and depression often manifest together, and their presentation can vary. At times, anxiety can give rise to depression, stemming from conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder, where overwhelming thoughts or persistent rituals dominate one's mind. Additionally, individuals may experience generalized anxiety disorder, characterized by intense worry and fear. Some individuals may even have such severe anxiety that they start their day by feeling nauseous or burdened by a constant heavy weight on their shoulders. Some individuals experience the sensation of their throat closing throughout the day, which can be incredibly distressing, particularly when there isn't a clear cause for their anxiety. Continuous feelings of anxiety without an apparent reason can lead to self-doubt and questioning of one's own well-being, ultimately contributing to the development of depression over weeks or months. In such cases, individuals may find themselves dealing with both an anxiety disorder and depression simultaneously.
