- Even though depression and anxiety are different types of disorders, they tend to go together. But why can it happen?

Depression: "Prepare for trouble!"
Anxiety: "And make it double!"
I'll never see Jesse and James the same way again 😕

That's brilliant. 😂
Omg that's exactly how it feels
Why do depression and anxiety go together? Because even mental illnesses are better at relationships than I am.
Well said. Same goes for me.
Laughing with you!
Jack Dearnley 😅😅
It’s funny cause it’s true. I m also the biggest looser at relationships. 100% fail rate.

Depression: I don't care
Anxiety: I do
Yeah basicslly. Depression makes you care too little and anxiety makes you care too much
Jesus Christ, I hate how true this is.
Depression: I don't care!
Anxiety: I care to the point of paranoia!
Anxiety + Depression: I don't'nt care. Yesn't I don't! No i Didn't
When you care, and don't care at the same time is hell.
The two military commanders of the Stress Empire: General Anxiety and Major Depression!
And Private Enterprise profits from them both.
@@ismailabdelirada9531 If there is no profit, then there is no point in doing research and selling medicinal drugs, and then you have to deal with mental illness on your own.
Oh.
You're my new favorite person. :)
@Paul Visschers Hence why I'm a commie. ^- ^
When you have anxiety, your brain has a solution to everything - avoidance.
As for depression, as far as I can tell based on what I know, the solution is giving up
"Tomorrow things will be better". After decades of no better tomorrow the hard simple truth sets in.
having both is a nightmares, ive been working for so long on healing...
@@ThriveWithLouise Ah same here! Just finding something you like (for me it's music) makes things feel a lot more manageable!
@@catpoke9557 Giving up is the ultimate in avoidance.

Nothing is so good, or so bad, that thinking about it doesn’t make it so.

That is so frustrating :(

Depression N' Anxiety
Lmao me too
Me too. I laughed when I read that too.
That was clever!
Accurate
I love how there are no down votes on this comment thread in particular, shows that even those of us who are typically down tend to want to help lift others up. Spread the love but from a distance 🤗
For me depression can cause me anxiety and my anxiety makes me depressed , it's a vicious circle :/
Luna R agreed
That's true anxiety can make you depressed but I still fill there separate in a few ways
♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️ Its exhausting! Seriously 😣.
Luna R same. But for me it’s anxiety and paranoia
Same
I have anxiety then depression then anxiety again then the list goes on
General Anxiety, Major Depression reporting for duty, sir.
Haha. Good pun.

Ok.
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Depression: "life sucks, I want to end it all."
Anxiety: " Hey Google, can sleeping kill you"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anxiety: fear of a bad future. Depression: acceptance of a bad future.
🤯 This is me!
Well anxiety makes me feel bad about now and the past too
Acceptance can come from mindfulness and meditation so that's not exactly accurate
Nah its not acceptance I can tell you that
@@lora9409 true, it’s getting you sicker and sicker to a point you lost your interest in life, and the anxiety is making its much worse.
Anxiety actively worrying. Depression exhausted and giving up.
Yeah, keep worrying until i felt exhausted i want to give up. That's exactly how i feel
Thank you guys for doing these videos and this whole channel battling the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health.

I am glad they did a video like this too. It's so difficult to express to people what is going on most often. Even with diagnosed disorders, when you go to someone they often don't "get it" and think it's just selfishness. Like "why can't you get over how you feel"... like I wish I could. Like: "sure, I just love laying in bed all day staring at the ceiling, you caught me"

Depression: i want to die
Anxiety: i want to live
Depression: i want to be alone
Anxiety: i feel lonely i need someone
Then you get numb because you feel tired feeling this way nothing anymore you just feel like your soul has died but your body is alive
My depression and anxiety apparently stemmed from decades of unchecked ADHD. When my counselor asked if I'd been tested for ADHD I thought she was joking. Turned out... I have pretty bad ADHD, I've just never been a troublemaker so no one caught it.
Once I started treating the ADHD the anxiety and depression resolved too! I thought it was fascinating.
I was actually confirmed to have adult ADHD not too long ago (I was already diagnosed as a child but never treated). I was wondering the same thing, as my anxiety/depression hasn’t gotten much better with antidepressants and such. I’m a bit worried that stimulants will only make me more anxious, but I’m hoping eventually I’ll level out and be able to get off the the SNRIs.
Started ADHD treatment about a year ago but Im still working to manage it. I doubt I have anything else bad enough to be clinical but it sure can make you feel like trash... just constantly making mistakes other people seem to have no trouble with
Thanks for sharing xx
I could have written that. There is a thing called learned helplessness - where depression is brought on by continuously trying and failing. I'm glad you're doing better!
i’ve always felt like i would have had adhd if i hadn’t had depression 🥳
I’ve found that my anxiety causes my depression because it’s so exhausting and frustrating
May God be with you and show you His kindness and grace dear friend.
May the love of His Son Jesus surround you and embrace you warmly.
Please take care.
Anxiety starts, Frustration happens, Depression happens....repeat cycle
@@robinsk5644no
I've always had the feeling that depressive symptoms follow periods of anxiety. Like the depression is caused by the anxiety, and not necessarily that something causes both individually. It may be that this is only partially the case or just that adrenaline crashes feel like depression.
Acidic Jello I do too! This doesn’t happen much anymore but sometimes when my anxiety was really high and I was on edge, I would just wish for a panic attack because of the fall after the panic.
Yes, they are two extremes that kinda try to balance each other!! Exaggerated responses trying to balance an already existing imbalance.
That's how it works for me. Every time my anxiety gets really bad, depression hits as soon as the anxiety starts to fade. I have both on a smaller scale all the time, but the major spikes always go hand in hand like that.
Anxiety and depression tend to go hand in hand. They 'play off of each other,' so to speak. Anxiety causes depression and depression causes anxiety. So, an individual with both can cycle back and forth between them.
My depression follows my anxiety for certain . When I got medication and controlled my anxiety , the depression just went away like magic .
Do an episode on derealization
this! and please don't forget to talk about both its transient and its chronic form
Is this similar to depersonalization?
@Ethan Sak yes they come together
Derealization is like everything is fake, scripted, muted -- depersonalization is like that but you are the everything.
Yeah great idea!!
Chronic disease/illnesses can lead to both as well. Anxiety: Will I be able to do the things? Will others notice my disabilities? Will my disabilities shorten my lifespan or my quality of life? Depression: I can't do the things. Nobody will include me because I'm obviously disabled. I'm in pain/sick all the time. I'm not going to have a normal life.
I know that not everyone with a chronic disease/illness will have these thoughts or emotions, but it is well-documented that there is a greater risk of depression and anxiety with chronic physical health issues.
Yea I have Graves' Disease (a form of hyperthyroidism), and not only does it lead to that kind of thinking, but it actually causes anxiety as a symptom as well. I also had/have OCD since before I had Graves'.
@@michaelkruse3536 I have three autoimmune diseases (they like to travel in packs 😅): RA, Hashimoto's, and Sjogren's. Between the pain and fatigue, it's really hard to not get depressed. The worst thing is my middle child has lupus, probably thanks to my screwy genetics. It's easier for me because I didn't have these until I was older. They were diagnosed at 14. It's incredibly depressing to see your classmates and friends handle school, social activities, and even jobs while you struggle just to get out of bed. It's also a major anxiety trigger, especially the "what kind of life will I have?" question. It's heartbreaking to see my child struggle so much.
CynB Yea, my dad has hashimoto’s and arthritis as well. I’m a college freshman and was diagnosed with Graves’ junior year of high school when I was in (or very close to) a thyroid storm, and I’m fairly certain I had graves’ for a couple years before getting diagnosed. I got really lucky in my diagnosis, as it often gets misdiagnosed many times before figuring out what it is. I went to a CVS minute clinic for a cold, and she noticed some symptoms... she almost told my dad she thought I was on drugs until she noticed my goiter and she asked my dad if he had a thyroid disease! Next thing I know I’m at the ER a few days later because they said we shouldn’t risk waiting all that time for results from a blood test and they could get results and start treatment within the day at the ER, and I’m glad we did that as my heart rate and blood pressure were insanely high (I think my pulse was above 140 WHILE RESTING). It was a very stressful year, with my exams for college and the health problems popping up at the time, but I made it through and I’m in college still struggling but doing the best I can!
@@michaelkruse3536 I consider myself "lucky" in that I only had Hashimoto's (the easiest to treat of all the autoimmune diseases) until fairly recently. The RA cropped up only about 4 years ago and is not severe. Sjogren's (uncomfortable, but not life-threatening) started about 2 years ago. Graves is definitely more difficult to treat than Hashimoto's... And riskier. I'm glad you got diagnosed before you wound up in a storm.
And anxiety and depression can suppress your immune system and damage your cells because of increased cortisol. It's a pretty toxic relationship.
Stress triggers my anxiety and depression
Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
I am feeling the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.
came across the comments about dr.sporess and I must say he is a genius.
@Annabella Butler Does he ship?
You guys should do a video about achieving a diagnosis. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder, but it took over a year of trial and error with medications and therapy, three different tentative diagnoses, and a bout of serotonin syndrome before finally landing on a winning combination of medication and CBT, and an appropriate diagnosis. The rollercoaster I went on isn't all that uncommon, but I think would make an interesting video and give hope to people going through their own rollercoaster.
Serotonin syndrome is dangerous. Glad you're doing better 😊
They should do a video just on Serotonin Syndrome. It's not well-known and so many medications (and interactions between meds) can trigger it.
@@CynBH it was terrifying and sudden. I would love to see a video on it.
6 years later and my doctor still isn't sure about my diagnosis. But I do trust her and trust that I'll get to a better place.
@@CynBH Would like to know about it as well, never heard of it nor experienced it.
I've never click on a video this fast.
edit: Thank you for this video, explained it brilliantly.

mash trash rsnxmmm
I often experience both of them at the same time. I get my heart racing, dry mouth, adrenaline kicking in while everything seems bland and meaningless. Existence can be hard.
anxiety: hAh let’s worry about everything and shut ourselves off because i don’t want everyone to hate me
depression: everyone hates me and nobody wants me around so it’s for the best for me to shut myself off because everyone already hates me. nobody would even care if i died...
me: okay ouch
i feel this so much. it sucks that I’m so comfortable with it :/
Please make a video on :
'Why do we feel sleepy in sunlight?'
Yes
Shiv Kumar evolutionary trait maybe? Being exposed to the hot sun can be very dangerous for many species, including or genetic ancestors. So seeking shelter and napping through the brightest sun could've aided in survival.
Just my thought, could be completely wrong.
I wanna know that too
Every. Day. Of. My. Life
But wired af lying in bed in darkness.
It’s a bleak reality when the depression and anxiety comment sections have the best jokes.
This is fascinating. Thank you for this video. I've had depression since I was a kid and anxiety since I was a teen. I noticed that being on antidepressants made my panic attacks disappear almost entirely. Now I know why.
Happens with me too.... Du u feel instant effect from ssri?
I’ve been battling my own mind for as long as I can remember. Thank you for making these videos about mental health and not buying into the idea that these topics are to be taboo. It’s important to know that anyone you meet on a day to day basis could be struggling with anxiety and depression. Everyone is fighting their own battles and it should absolutely be discussed freely!
I can tell you exactly how anxiety and depression work together. If you feel anxious and on the verge of a panic attack all the time it can make you hate life. When you hate life you wanna die to end the pain. That's how they're related
Makes sense
I can relate. Dealing with both at the moment.
For me, i don't wanna end it all but i also dont know what i want to do. usually i just end up playing video games for hours without even knowing why im doing that and feeling like a blob. life seems like a fkn dream. 4 months gone already and i don't know how. and im struggling with even writing this cuz my brain trips over itself
@goobles64 I'm also struggling with no direction too. Do you think you're avoiding something you really want to do because you think you'd fail? That's what I realised was going on with me. It's definitely an example of how anxiety can lead to periods of depression
it's interesting how many mental health disorders boil down in some way to feeling out of control and/or wanting to hold on to control
Lately I've been having episodes that seem like a mix of both. I'll feel like my heart is racing and I can't tolerate anyone talking to me or having expectations of me, and feel like something is sitting on my chest, at the same time, that feeling will completely drain me of energy and motivation and make me just lay back barely able to breathe or keep my eyes open. I nod off and jolt up after a second. Anxiety and depression can describe very different things, but they can also describe the same thing, or at least not be mutually exclusive.
I always start off with anxiety, then it always then turns into depression. As I always turn so negative and end up giving up. Even when I haven’t even tried. 😔
This is so good. I’ve heard and thought a lot about the “joke” how having anxiety and depression doesn’t make sense - because one gets crudely summed up as “caring too much (what everybody thinks)” and the other as “not caring about anything”. And i havent really understood how i can struggle with both, at the same time (though i usually feel like one has focus at any given moment). But seeing how they might not be wildly opposable disorders and rather have a lot in common is very helpful. Especially how you related it to the flight or fight response - i often think of that in terms of my anxiety but rarely with my depression. But it’s true that the sense of hopelessness and the sense of helplessness are very similar feelings. Thank you for this video
I care a lot and I don't care at all at the same time. This is what anxiety and depression does to me.
University of Montana Pharmacy graduate here--thank you for spreading good, accurate information on subjects like this and making me so proud of Missoula :)
Now that's the question isn't it? I would highly recommend "Lost connections" it's a great book on depression and really opened my mind to the topic.
The fact that someone cut this video in such a way to make it sound like Brit never breathes in between sentences makes me anxious.
It's like not punctuating the end of sentences It's very jarring when you notice it
Psilocybin mushroom has also shown effectiveness at easing fear and anxiety in people with as well.
Fight, flight or FREEZE
Yeah. Exactly. Thank you for your comment.
I guess freeze is block out shut downs
YES!! I’ve spent most of my life in freeze mode. Many leave that response out. Anxiety causes me to freeze (especially around people) and depression causes me to freeze and hide.
Freeze 🥶
Faint
I'm constantly lethargic from depression and then I drink energy drinks and have panic attacks. Although even without caffeine I am affected by anxiety.
Video suggestion: Why do we some days, for no apparent reason, feel good and some days, for no apparent reason, feel bad?
Weather/seasons, guilt and so on.
Not knowing what to do and where to focus your energy.
Doing the same routine for a long time.
And after a while the bubble just bursts.
If you’re talking about more extreme than garden variety good and bad days, it could be a form of bipolar.
We need to find ways to address and treat the two mentioned stressors: hopelessness and helplessness.
Thank you for this video. My depression is horrific. I'm getting help, but nothing is getting better. I never thought I'd be like this.
A lot of psychologists argue that Anxiety and Depression are more symptoms than disorders themselves. Similar to how somebody exhibiting a common cold will have a headache and runny nose, but both symptoms share a root cause.
I can’t find a root cause
I found this really helpful for understanding those in my life who struggle with these things (which is a weirdly high number of people considering the statistics you mentioned).
Perhaps a video on how to be good friend/supporter?
People who does understand how anxiety works will just call you a coward and if you’re depressed they will ask you :”What’s wrong?” Or say :”cheer up!”
Life itself is so stressful, add on people who want to oppress and discriminate you.
The response is logical, because being oppressed or discriminated against can mean you would die if you were relying on a tribe in the prehistoric era.
This is a great service that y'all are doing for the community, especially putting links in the description for people looking for help. Thank you. I would like to see a video done on Histrionic Personality Disorder in the future. You've done all the rest of Cluster B and that one isn't talked about as much as the others
My first doctor diagnosed anxiety disorder, but ignored the debilitating depression which pissed me off. Later I had a seizure and the neurologist suggested another psychologist. This one suggested practicing mindfulness before trying any medication and it kind of was like a miracle switch off button for the anxiety. Just getting reigning in the anxiety itself has made me feel so much better
I suffered depression in the past and I know how it feels, but is like it’ll never go because now my son is suffering both I think :( is so sad seen him like that. He doesn’t wanna get any help, I just pray for him and all does who are in the same situation God give you all the
strength you guys need God bless you all🌷🙏
I’ve been taking antidepressants for maybe half a year now and I noticed that my anxiety becomes much more manageable when my meds kick in. As far as anxiety and depression goes, the anxious thoughts and feelings can really wear me down. It feels sorta like the anxiety and depression are both programs running on the same computer, that being my brain, and having those programs running all the time without my control uses a lot of battery power and disk space.
sameee
Jesus Christ her fast talking triggered my anxiety now I’m all upset! Thanks a lot! 😖
This video was amazing. I along with others in my family suffer from both my wife also suffering from bipolar. She watched this video and said your channel should be put on a major public television channel and shown to the world. Thank you for all your great videos.
I was molested at age 12 and suffered a TBI -( Traumatic Brain Injury ) at age 26... Now you know why my Anxiety and Depression levels are so high!!
Sorry to hear,... the damage was so severe.!
... Depression is so extremely horrible.
I'm suffering also.
I hate it.
You.
Are an amazing and awesome person
Thank you! You seem to be a genuinely nice person.
So p baiting for likes n word
+😊+😊+
No..
You!
i started out so worried but couldn't help but smile in the end
"these types of disorders are so much more common in people who've experienced major stresses like trauma or childhood abuse - those stressors could make their stress response system more sensitive" *big oof* that's me....
I have sever anxiety and that leads to you thinking of things that make you sad which can lead to depression
Dealing with Anxiety and Depression for almost 40 years! It totally suxs!!
Living like your on a rollercoaster with ups (anxiety) down's (depression).
I'm depressed because I spend all my time at work away from family and friends just to eek out a living, and I'm anxious because at this rate, I don't see a way for this to change until I die, either because I take my own life or just give up and starve, all within a society that does not care about me except in how it can commodify my labor and profit from the fulfillment of my basic needs. I'm depressed and anxious because capitalism is ruining most of our lives. How about you?
YOU hit the nail on the head. People need to WAKE up we can't keep living like this.
Im ready to quit my job
I was just at the doctor 2h ago and got perscribed one of those depression & anxiety combo meds. Your upload timing couldn't have been any better!
Wow. I have both MDD and GAD and definitely am sensitive to stress. My anxiety got worse when I was going through a rough time and hadn't been treated yet. I got panic attacks for a job interview and couldn't even ask the staff in any store for help if I couldn't find something. I would just pace back and for trying to work my way to asking them and I would usually give up. I am glad that science is working to understand disorders better. More understanding can really help those struggling to ask for help.
I understand your struggle dear friend. I left two different jobs due to panic attacks (stress related.) Taking medication and doing better now. I certainly hope you are too. I will pray for you, okay? Count on that. May God be with you and show you His wonderful kindness and grace. May the love of His Son Jesus surround you and embrace you warmly.
Please take care.
Somehow seeing this video and reading these comments make me feel sick an stressed, and I can already feel the anxiety kicking in.
Not again... Yesterday I had an anxiety attack, I couldn't breathe normally
Depression: Wish I could just die.
Anxiety: OMG I’M GONNA DIE RIGHT NOW.
Kit Whitfield so true XD
What's *not* helpful is when you have one, and doctors assume you have the other when you don't. Maddening.
Restlessness, fatigue, irritability, problems with concentration, sleep disturbances. Yep, sounds very familiar.
I gave up long ago... and once you give up it's over... you end up existing so as not to hurt the people close to you... and so your stuck...my advice to anyone is don't give up... because once you do it's a very difficult thing to overcome...no amount of talk or meds will help believe me
Wow.... I believe you.
I'm hurting so bad ..
My situation that caused the severe depression,.. cannot be resolved, therefore... how could talking or meditation help. The stressful traumatic event , that eliminated my dream career job of 25yrs ! ... I can't get it back, and the lifestyle I've known and loved...💔🥀⛓️😖
My hypothesis would be something along the lines of: A. Anxiety is generally the system being overdialed to the point of being on edge or somewhat unstable in terms of ability to handle things. B. Depression is generally accompanied by a lot of rumination and bad thoughts, beating yourself up or being down about something.
By this armchair logic, anxiety being overdialed can exacerbate things that are already getting you down, or your issues you have with resolving mistakes in your past, while depression can make you feel bad and make you have trouble relaxing in some forms, helping to feed anxiety. In this respect, they share a lot of common ground and seem to easily feed into one another. I've seen a lot of people, myself included, spend a lot of their time while depressed being very high anxiety, while also having seen people who are very high anxiety feel very depressed once they're no longer being thrown into the fire that is daily demands. Both are byproducts of not doing well, and both suck generally suck ass, hence make you feel like you're not doing well. To me it makes perfect sense why they're often overlapping.
this explains how my disorders all affect each other (ptsd, major dep, gen anxiety, adhd), but also makes me wonder if i have each individual disorder and there's symptom crossover or if i only have ptsd, where the symptoms of that can be interpreted as coming from multiple disorders....rambling but i think this makes sense?
Studies prove the fastest way to true inner happiness is thru selfless social giving. Fear (as from being stressed out) allows us to mentally wall-off our empathy (it's an empathy-killer) which therefore explains the close relationship to the depression that comes as a result.
Someone explained it to me like this. Both Anxiety and Depression are deviations from Now-and-Here. Anxiety as a deviation to future events / fear - and Depression as a deviation to past events / guilt. Their premise and praxis is to bring the mind to the present moment [mindfulness] to avoid both. Those techniques are also quite helpful.
i feel like my depression and anxiety are not only attacking each other but working together to attack me. either way, im always left feeling horrible and confused.
In my experience, when I had depression and suffered from anxiety .I was depressed because I was living a life I didn’t like and didn’t feel like I could change it then when sudden change happened anxiety kicked in, it was the unknown of change, I couldn’t cope already so how was I going to cope with this change will it make my life harder?
I had problems from when I started going to school up until my late 20’s, I worked hard at changing my way of thinking, stopped judging myself on societies terms of worth because one I was never going to be that and two I didn’t agree with them and realised that they weren’t going to make me happy because they weren’t important to me. I realised I could change the world wasn’t going to change but I could. It’s been a hard road, I had to forgive myself and like Peter Pan says in order to fly, think happy thoughts.
Anytime I’d start to think my old sad thoughts, I’d try and think of something happy. Now that I gave myself that break, sad thoughts don’t feel overwhelming and the past feeling easier to look at.
Anyway that’s all folks, good luck on your journey, we all have our own paths to follow.
I felt it was all over,I couldn't find my way out of darkness,With the DMT everything changed,I feel rebooted right now,healermanchris is really doing a great job in PTSD..,The HEALER I respect so much...you hit up his instagram page @healermanchris....🍄🍄
She's a great speaker. Well done. These videos are usually long and dull and drag on and on, but she was engaging, spoke at a great speed, was interesting/informative, and got her message across perfectly.
i really appreciate everything y'all at scishow/scishow psych are doing to destigmatize this stuff and break it down in an understandable way. we all have imperfect brains - and we're all still worthy of empathy and support.
Yeah, so, there are a lot of cognitive psychological mental distortions that can trigger anxiety and/or depression. I personally have both and the balance is kind of precarious with medication. For instance, I tend to get slothy from depression, so they put me on a med that boosts energy, but that energy can contribute to anxiety.
I recently went to my very first therapy session. I was nervous but I left feeling a lot better. Can you guys do a video about the different methods therapists use to help people or something like that?
Olivia So proud of you and your courage. Keep progressing my dear.👍🏽
Guyyys the comment section cures my depression. Seriously,thanks for existing 😍
My wife deals with both MDD and GAD, mainly resulting from constant pain caused by EDS (imagine your nerves that sense pain being on fire 24/7) and a rough childhood. It's good to see videos like this helping people to understand how they're not the same as just having a bad day.
Is there a video on how does the weather affect our bodies and mood?
Thank you!
As usual, this is one of those situations where psychologists could've figured this out decade ago if they weren't looking in the wrong direction and overcomplicating things. The relationship between anxiety and depression is obvious: one typically causes the other.
For example, let's say you're at a party, and there's something you know is fun but draws a lot of attention toward you (like karaoke, dancing, or a game that requires a specific skill). For an anxious person, they want to enjoy themselves but they're in fear of humiliating themselves. This turns into a depressive feeling, because you know you're missing out, and it's only made worse when people try to pressure you into joining in and you can't get yourself to do it.
Or, there's those situations where you're sitting in bed at night, in a bad mood, and remembering all the stupid and embarrassing mistakes you made. It's kind of like being attacked by your own mind, and most people are going to feel anxious when attacked.
As long as "doctors" don't pay attention to this kind of stuff, they're never going to solve these problems. They're too caught up in being objective over how the human mind works, but our _entire_ perception of our experiences is subjective. To ignore this is, IMO, a failure upon psychiatry.
Anxiety: I don’t want to die
Depression: I want to die 😢

On Instegram.....

After living with both for several years the most annoying thing about them is that when you become more resistant for either of them you also become more vulnerable for the other one. You start feeling less tired and more outgoing and soon your life has tons of new things to be anxious about. Or vice versa and you become more numb to that anxiety and soon pretty much nothing unnecessary upsets you but on the other hand those things that should make you worried won't either and you also barely feel anything positive at all. Also when you are anxious all the time, it will burn you out and if you cannot accomplish anything beause of your crippling depression, you'll soon have plenty of things to be anxious about. So not only it's difficult to cure one without suffering from the other but if you don't somehow get rid of both, they'll always invite each other back.
Add hyper empathy to the mix and you got the possibility of being curled up in the fetal position in tears just because a bird is sad. She really feels a connection to birds.
Thanks a lot scp depressed albatross. That really messed her up.
I'd love to know why some have treatment resistant depression and anxiety. Why medication often makes them worse no matter how many they have tried
I think most researchers would love to know that as well. As said in the video, how the brain works and how clinical anxiety and depression works is still unknown for the most part. We know SSRI and SNRIs tend to work, often you have to try a few different ones to find the right one, but we don't know exactly why they work. That was a big thing for me, taking something that works but not know why exactly it works.
I am really grateful to *mistress Celine* for helping me pass through depression , you are the best
👆👆he's got mushrooms, LSD, bars,
psilocybin, Dmt, Ayahuasca, nomes, he's got
all psychedelic products
Excuse me , could you tell me the medications that can treat constant fearfulness , deep hopelessness , excessive worry ? These issues are killing my life now 😭
You need to ask a psychiatrist. It's not safe to ask for medication advice on the internet.
I have both and they intertwine like dog tails. I'll start panicking, then burst into full blown tears for hours on end, and I mean lik a banshee cream kinds of storm (Yelling,crying, wailing), and after thats gone the stress leaves and in enters depression for about as long as the banshee fit lasted, if not longer.
The worst was either the time I gave myself a bloody nose from crying so hard or the time I cried for two hours straight and woke up still feeling like my eyes were puffy and my nose was stuffy from crying. I only got 7 hours that night.
I used to suffer from what I call A.I.D.S.....Anxiety, Insomnia, Depression, & Stress. It was so bad that I couldn't go anywhere w/out my shades. Even in fall & winter I still wore them. Now I'm fine. I'm only willing to share the solution I found w/others that are interested. If you would like advice then I'm here. ☺
How does the connection between depression and anxiety relate to persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)?
Point of Clarification: PDD and Dysthymia aren’t synonyms. Dysthymia is a specific type of PDD along with Chronic Major Depression. Curious if there are any differences between the two and their affect on anxious symptoms.
@@mariewikiwaka3851 Are you sure? I believe DSM-5 consolidates "chronic major depressive disorder" and "dysthymic disorder" under "persistent depressive disorder."
LibrarianChef My understanding from the DSM 5 is that pure dysthymic syndrome doesn’t include major depressive episodes. That would be classified as chronic major depression. The professor that taught the DSM 5 to me sometimes got things a little confused though, so I could for sure be mistaken.
marie wikiwaka ...... that's because the self serving idiots that write the dsm make it up as they go along....
rob dog Pretty sure we’re all making it up as we go along, the DSM-5 authors are just doing a worse job than most others.
If you need a brain, I volunteer. When I treated both disorders separately it went bad, now I only need one med and it keeps both disorders controlled.
Thank you for the useful video. I want to share my result. my son had depression amid numerous stresses, we went to the clinic, he was lying, prescribed antidepressants, but unfortunately day by day he was getting worse, he was prescribed other antidepressants, he was worse, walked like a zombie, it was painful to look like a smart guy, handsome and suddenly it turns into something. I was advised to give him cellular nutrition and after a month he recovered! About a year has passed and everything is in order, the depression has not returned. Cellular nutrition is a great thing !!!

THEY HELP WITH DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
Ive finally reached a point of depression similar to how i felt in middle school
That's quite interesting to know, since I have been diagnosed with MDD and GAD.
Same
Could you consider make an episode about why high potential people are also more depressed? Thanks a lot for your great work!
But are they more depressed, or is it just that we hear more about their problems?
Easily affected by their environment
I have often read that it is real. But it may be a bias or another... that’s why I am suggesting this topic to SciShow
It's fight, freeze or flight response. There's a third option.
This world is depressing because of how we treat each other and how the world is
I feel YOU
Let me guess, "we dont really know"
Edit: LOL, yup
How do I know if my depression / anxiety is clinical depression / anxiety?
This would be something for a health care professional.
You have a conversation with your doctor. Do not diagnose yourself.
I do agree with a professional diagnosis, but if you just wonder... It's when you feel down or enable to do the things you normally do for more than two weeks. Again it's not that accurate because there could be more things going on... But it's essential for you to go to see a doctor. The sooner, the better.
If it interferes with your daily life or well being, talk to a doctor. It is less important for you to fit a "formal" diagnosis and more important for you to get the help you need if you are struggling.
Go to a health care professional like a psychiatrist.
I’m curious about the idea that both disorders are caused by overactive fight or flight responses. In Hyperbole and a Half, Allie Brosh describes her major depression taking away her ability to feel much of anything, including fear, which allowed her to watch scary movies that couldn’t get a rise out of her anymore. It’s interesting that it would weaken the FoF response to external stimuli.
