What are the most common warning signs of anxiety and depression?

Answer 1

Important signs that you might have a mood disorder instead of just a mood include the following:

• Your mood - anxiety or depression - seems to have no cause or basis that you can determine. You have no idea why you feel the way you do.
• Your mood lasts for longer than a few weeks.
• Your mood is seriously interfering with your daily life.
• Your mood has made you think about suicide, plan suicide, or attempt suicide.

If your moods seem to fit this list, you should make an appointment with two people: your doctor or psychiatrist, and a good therapist. You need a doctor to prescribe medication, and you need a therapist to teach you healthy ways to change your coping skills. The only cure for depression and anxiety is medication PLUS therapy.
