Types of Depression and AnxietyÂ
While most of us think of an anxiety disorder when there is anxiety present or a major depression order when there is depression, both mean something different. For instance, in addition to anxiety disorder, you also have:
- Panic or anxiety attacks are known as a panic disorder
- You have PTSD, known as post-traumatic stress disorder that is triggered by traumatic events
- Lastly, you have OCD or obsessive-compulsive disorder that entails repetitive thoughts and compulsions
The above are all categorized as generalized anxiety disorder, but the same applies to depressive disorders:
- New moms can experience postpartum depression after the birth
- In the colder, darker season, you can get people that have the SAD or seasonal affective disorder
- Then you have people with major mood shifts starting with mania leading to depression known as bipolar disorder
Yet, in both these mental health issues, it all starts with stress leading to anxiety and ending up in depression. So, one day you can feel despair and even hopelessness.
Yet, the good news is that you can get treatment for anxiety and depression right here with us. We offer each individual a treatment plan catered according to their needs. We use CBT, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, among others.
