How To Understand The Difference and Similarities Between Anxiety And Depression

Anxiety

Although anxiety can also last for a long time, it often stems from a discrete or ongoing traumatic experience. In either case, anxiety is an emotional response that manifests in many ways, including through the body’s receptors. Some typical symptoms patients with anxiety experience include agitation, lightheadedness, constant fear and worrying, self-doubt, and extreme mood swings. These symptoms can be triggered by an event and make the sufferer feel as if they are reliving a traumatic experience all over again. It is important for family members and friends to be considerate of events or situations that may trigger their loved one's anxiety. They can do this by avoiding conversations and activities that trigger an anxious response and by supporting their loved one during an anxiety attack.
