My therapist once told me: "Anxiety, depression, and ADD are all riding in the same car. It is my job to determine which one is in the driver's seat and treat you accordingly."
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health conditions and are easily confused. While there is some overlap in symptoms and they do often occur simultaneously, anxiety and depression are actually very different types of "disorders". Nearly half of all people diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety and depression are on the rise globally. In 2018, almost 50,000 Americans lost their lives to suicide, an increase of 14% since 2000, and on average over ten million adults reported having serious thoughts of suicide in the year prior.
