For reaons unknown anxiety and depression often occur toegher. Despite the fact they are two different things. When we think of depression we think of thoughts of hopelessness, overwhelming grief and a lack of energery. Anxiety is an activation of the flight or fight system of the body and for some people feels like they are constantly being hunted by a tiger.

A good treatment plan for anxiety will include Diet and Nutrition, Relaxation Exercise, CBT (or some type of therapy) and if desired medication.

It is imporant to get your anxiety treated because it can actually lead you back into depresion.

I hope you feel better!
