In today's society, people's psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger, many people are falling into inexplicable emotional anxiety, and gradually there are more and more mental illnesses, and anxiety and depression are more patients, these two diseases must be similar, but in fact, the essential difference is quite big.

Depression is a mental illness that manifests itself in many ways, such as depressed mood, depression, pessimistic thoughts, and even bad thoughts in severe momentswith dire consequences. WhileAnxiety disorders are a type of neurological disorder, which is mainly manifested in anxiety, restlessness, fear and tension for the future, and a large emotional gapand are more susceptible to social emotional disturbances. It can also be seen from here that depression is actually more serious, because you can't control your emotions, your mood may be low at any time, and you need to do physical **, and it will be difficult to get out of severe depression.

Nowadays, there are more and more depressions in society, and many parents do not understand this disease, and may feel that their children are too hypocritical, which is the incomprehension of some parents for depressionYou must know that depression is a mental illness that requires psychological intervention, and it also needs to take medicine, sometimes the patient is in a good mood, but because of depression, the next second the mood begins to be lost, there is no way to control his emotions, and he is very depressed and wants to cryThese are very normal situations, but anxiety and bad mood are not the same as depression, some people casually say that they have depression, so that some groups have a misunderstanding of depression, such behavior is really bad.

If you feel that the symptoms are similar to depressionDon't listen to blind tests on the Internet, go to the hospital for a formal examination, if it is mild depression, you need to cooperate with the doctor to carry out **, and don't shy away from the doctorIf you don't feel well, you have to go to the hospital to have a good look.

I hope that if you are sick, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible.

There is an essential difference between anxiety and depression, the former is a psychological problem, while the latter is a disease, anxiety can be relieved by regulating emotions, while depression is usually dependent on medication**.

One of the main manifestations of anxiety disorder is to show excessive worry about things that have not happened, and patients with depression will have more complex emotions, which are mainly based on the performance of past events, but will also be accompanied by anxiety, that is, they also have emotions about future things.

There is a difference between anxiety and depression in nature, anxiety disorders generally have more ups and downs, and the temper is more irritable, while depression is more painful in the heart and cannot be relieved.

Anxiety is just being more anxious about things and being a little impatient, and depression is a negative view of life and even many things. The essential difference between anxiety and depression is that anxiety is still positive, wanting better, and still working hard, but not achieving the desired results, while depression is negative and not interested in many things.

The dominant emotions in anxiety disorders are anxiety, nervousness, and fear, while the dominant emotions in depression are persistent depression and loss of interest and hobbies.

The degree of mental activity excitability was different, and the mental activity of anxiety disorder was excited, while the mental activity of depression was characterized by inhibition.

severity, anxiety disorders are relatively mild, depression tends to have suicidal tendencies and suicidal behaviors;

The essential difference is that the symptoms are different, anxiety disorders are not always particularly anxious, they are sometimes very happy, and they are not anxious all the time, but depression is not, they are often cranky, often unhappy, and do not know how to make themselves happy, this is the difference between the two situations.

The main thing is that the performance is different, and the main manifestation of anxiety disorder is irritability and anxiety. Depression, on the other hand, manifests itself in a depressed mood and a sense that there is no point in living.

The difference is very big, it belongs to two different diseases, the form of manifestation is different, the harm to the human body is also different, the way of ** is also different, and the symptoms are completely different.

The difference between pathology, the difference between the causes of the disease, the difference between the specific manifestations, the difference between the state after the onset of the disease, and the difference between emotions. These are all completely different.

Anxiety and depression are two different mental illnesses that have different symptoms and characteristics, and while they both bring negative emotions and effects. Here are the main differences between the two diseases:

1 Different symptoms: Anxiety and depression have different main symptoms. The symptoms of anxiety disorder mainly include nervousness, fear, insecurity, excessive worry, etc., and also show symptoms of physical discomfort, such as palpitations, sweating, headache, stomach upset, etc.

2 Different impacts: Anxiety and depression can have different effects on the lives of patients. Anxiety disorders can interfere with the patient's daily life and social activities, making it impossible for the patient to work and socialize, and sometimes obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Depression can cause patients to have a sense of sadness and loss that they cannot get rid of, making them lose interest and fun, and patients with severe depression may even have suicidal tendencies.

3** Different methods: ** Anxiety and depression ** methods are also different. Anxiety disorders mainly include drugs and psychology, such as cognitive-behavioral, relaxation, etc.

Depression also includes medications and psychology, where medication can relieve symptoms in severe cases of depression and psychology can help patients solve psychological problems.

In summary, although both anxiety and depression affect people's mental and physical health, the symptoms and effects of the two diseases are different. If you feel that you have symptoms of anxiety or depression, it is advisable to seek professional attention in a timely manner.

Anxiety and depression can be difficult to distinguish between the two disorders because the symptoms of the two disorders are often intertwined. Depression is characterized by a pronounced depressed mood, and anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive worry and fear. Depression often feels bad, low self-esteem and self-blame, and anxiety often worries about problems in the outside world.

Symptoms of depression are often heavier in the morning and better in the evening, and there is no obvious pattern to when anxiety symptoms are severe. It is not enough to distinguish based on these alone, because anxiety disorders can have depressive symptoms after a long time, and depression itself may also have anxiety symptoms. Fortunately, the methods for anxiety and depression are basically the same.

If you must identify, the doctor will be more confident.

Anxiety disorder is a state with significant and persistent psychological and physical anxiety symptoms, also known as anxiety neurosis, which is characterized by generalized anxiety disorder (chronic anxiety disorder) and episodic panic state (acute anxiety disorder). Depression is mainly characterized by depressed mood, slow thinking and decreased volitional activity, and most cases also have various physical symptoms.

1. Anxiety Disorders:

Most of the pre-morbid personalities of anxiety disorders are timid, suspicious, indecided, and unable to adapt quickly to new things and new environments. The cause of the disease is mental factors, such as being unable to adapt to a stressful environment, encountering misfortune or difficulty in undertaking more complex and difficult work.

The main clinical manifestations are: painful emotional experiences that are not commensurate with the situation. The typical form is anxiety and fear without a definite objective object and a specific and fixed conceptual content.

It is often referred to in the literature as floating anxiety or nameless anxiety; Psychomotor restlessness. Fidgeting, walking back and forth, or even running and shouting, can also manifest as involuntary tremors or tremors; Autonomic dysfunction with physical malaise. Such as sweating, dry mouth, throat congestion, chest tightness and shortness of breath, dyspnea, erection of hair, palpitations, redness and whiteness of the face, nausea and vomiting, urgency to urinate, frequent urination, dizziness, weakness of the whole body, especially the legs, etc.

Emotional experiences of anxiety without any manifestations of motor and autonomic function cannot reasonably be considered pathological symptoms. Conversely, without the inner experience of uneasiness and fear, physical manifestations alone cannot be regarded as anxiety.

2. Depression:

Somatic symptoms: most patients with depression have physical and other biological symptoms, such as palpitations, chest tightness, gastrointestinal upset, constipation, decreased appetite, and weight loss. Sleep disturbances are prominent, mostly due to difficulty falling asleep.

Depressive mood: The basic characteristics are depressed mood, distress and sadness, and lack of interest. I feel pessimistic and hopeless, painful and difficult, and I feel that life is like a year, and life is worse than death.

It is often used to describe their inner experiences such as being bored and unhappy. Typical patients have a depressed mood and are characterized by heavy days and light nights. Often coexists with anxiety.

Slow thinking: the thinking association process is inhibited, the reaction is slow, and the conscious brain does not turn, which is manifested as a decrease in active speech, a significant slowdown in the speed of speech, and laborious thinking problems. Slow response, need to wait for a long time, under the influence of low mood, low self-esteem, low self-esteem, a sense of uselessness and worthlessness, feel that life is meaningless, pessimistic and suicidal intentions, self-blame and self-guilt, think that life has become a burden, commit a major sin, appear hypochondriac on the basis of physical discomfort, and think that they have an incurable disease.
