Anxiety and Depression
Depression leads to states of anxiety and anxiety often leads to depression. A large number of people with depression experience anxiety attacks, in addition to the usual mood swings.
They do not always happen at the same time, but those who suffer from anxiety feel tense, restless and have difficulty concentrating, since they are always worried. This state, in the long run, will surely lead to a situation of depression.
The coexistence of the two situations can have serious repercussions and lead to a chronic situation that prevents normal functioning in relationships, work, etc. and substantially increases the risk of suicide.
So you need to be aware of all signs.
