What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is an overall mood condition that can occur without a clear trigger. Its symptoms can include panic attacks, shortness of breath, headaches, irritability, restlessness, loss of sleep, and often fear of negative events. Classic examples of Anxiety can also be ritualistic behavior and constant list making. It is important to note that anxiety is not the same as fear, which is an emotional response to an anticipated threat. Also, fear is related to the fight or flight response whereas anxiety is related to situations perceived as uncontrollable or unavoidable. Essentially, Anxiety occurs as a result of a perceived need to control future events and avoid disaster.

What is Depression?

In today’s world, all of us have had experience with depression. We have felt its effects personally or seen friends and loved ones suffer. It’s become the problem of our age but who actually knows what it is?

Well, first of all depression is not the problem it is the symptom. It is an indication that our methods to deal with stress needs to change and education is needed to change how we react to the ups and downs of life. The signs of depression are intense hopelessness and dejection, sadness, emptiness and usually accompanied by emotions of guilt, loss of energy, and a loss of interest in pursuing a life.

On top of that depression sufferers tend to turn to drugs and alcohol, which adds to the problem and further distracts from the actual cause.

She is highly functional but going through depression at the moment. I do need to know costs however and whether anything is rebatable through medicare or private cover. Please e-mail me asap so I can relay information back to her. Regards, Gary Rubin
