Symptoms: Depression, Anxiety, PTSD & OCD
Clinical Depression
Far from just a temporary low mood, depression often persists and disrupts daily functioning. People may struggle to complete routine tasks, perform at work or school, or engage meaningfully with others. In severe cases, thoughts of self-harm or suicide may occur.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Anxious Depression refers to anxiety symptoms in patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). It affects approximately 10-16 million adults in the United States each year. This is distinct from patients that experience depression that is triggered by a primary diagnosis of an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder.
Both anxiety and depression have been associated with experiencing distress when facing the unknown. For depression, the trigger is related to a sense of sadness, and anxiety grows from thoughts of a future “threat” whose likelihood remains unclear. While depression is defined by a lack of energy, anxiety is perceived as more of a system overload and is tied to excessive concern over the possibility of experiencing harm.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Far from just a temporary low mood, depression often persists and disrupts daily functioning. People may struggle to complete routine tasks, perform at work or school, or engage meaningfully with others. In severe cases, thoughts of self-harm or suicide may occur.
Obsessive Compulsice Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a mental disorder defined as a combination of anxiety-inducing thoughts and behavior. OCD can be time-consuming, create significant distress on the individual facing it and take a toll on family, friends, and colleagues.
The condition’s two main components are ruminative thoughts (“obsessions”) and the actions meant to soothe them (“compulsions”).
