Anxiety and Depression.

I found this interesting.

Anxiety and depression are sometimes interrelated.

When anxiety becomes severe in nature, depression can be one of the resulting conditions. As your depression grows it can become more and more difficult to pull yourself out. While either depression or anxiety alone can be debilitating, when coupled together, your well-being can be in danger. The Center • A Place of HOPE was recently recognized among the top 10 facilities in the U.S. for the treatment of depression and we specialize in treating the coexisting issues of anxiety and depression.

We understand what you are going through and how you can absolutely be experiencing both at the same time. More importantly, we know how to care for you to treat your symptoms, restoring balance, energy, hope and happiness in your life. Anxiety counseling at The Center • A Place of HOPE offers a unique opportunity to simultaneously receive anxiety and depression treatment.

Thank you for writing this, this is what I am going thru, some-days the depression is making my life miserable (like today), other days the anxiety drives me crazy, it is like a see-saw and I do not know what to do. I am on med's for depression/anxiety I am slowly improving, it seems to take such a long time. It is good to see it in black and white. Thank You Again. Sprinkle 1
