Can this whole anxiety thing start with a panic attack like when have a panic attack can it just start the whole anxiety thing and depression?

Yes... after the brain sends out all those uncalled panic symptoms the brain goes into depression and anxiety.... that's how the psychiatrist explained it to me. That's what happened to me. I started fighting off panic attacks 9 weeks ago and then fell into depression and anxiety... also got the devil depersonalization

The way my therapist described it to me is that anxiety sufferers can have an anxiety attack or just generally feel anxious and then the depressive thoughts can enter and make things worse. Not to scare you, but I have been told the thoughts can come back throughout your entire life. That's not a terrible thing or something that you can't deal with. Because once you get the anxiety under control, you can control the depression.
