Lost And Gained : Depression And Anxiety

There are many similarities between mental disorders like anxiety and depression. Often times, many symptoms of one disorder stem off of having the other. For example, symptoms of anxiety can be brought on by depressive thoughts, such as thoughts about suicide, and visa versa. The differences, however, are far more prominent than the ways they are the same.

a 44 year old Divorced African Male came into Henry Ford Hospital ED as a walk-in and told the HFHS staff that he was having mental health issues he does still struggle with depression and anxiety. The consumer stated that he initially went into the hospital after his brother was shot twice in the head. At that time the client reports that he was placed on Risperdal, while at Kingswood in January, and he became a zombie at that time. He stated that he has been in and of the hospital multiple times since then, and each time, he has been placed on Risperdal and he doesn't feel that his meds were ever adjusted correctly.

anxiety and depression, with support from meta-analyses (Bar-Haim et al., 2007; Peckham, McHugh, & Otto, 2010). Cognitive biases are also frequently explored in patients with chronic pain, and are predicted by a number of theoretical models, in addition to Beck’s schema theory, such as the Self-Regulatory Executive Function theory (SREF), the Fear-Avoidance (FA) model, and the Misdirected Problems-Solving (MPS) model. The SREF models argues that metacognitive factors like beliefs about worry, cognitive confidence, and the need to control thoughts direct and focus one’s attention on disease-related information ((Wells & Matthews, 1996). The FA model suggests that fear of pain leads to hyper-vigilance towards pain sensations and avoidance

Depression and anxiety are the two most common mental illnesses in the world today. They make a person view the world as an ugly, scary place. Many people develop one or the other, and some develop both. Depression and anxiety are two very different mental illnesses but many people only see the similarities between them, instead of seeing the difference in their symptoms and emotions.

My dad shot blame at me like bullets at a target. The first time I was the victim of these shots was the day he got the news from my high school that I needed to be taken to the hospital. They found out that I attempted suicide. His anger is all he could remember that day. He accused me of only doing this because I hated my culture and I never wanted to be Mexican.

College represents a form of higher learning. For many, it is also a time for personal growth as we transition into adulthood. This in itself is a stressful situation as one must make drastic adjustments to a new role, environment, and demands. Stress is a major contributor to the development of mental and emotional issues (Rodgers, L., Tennison, L. 2009). Research has been done to determine the impact of depression and anxiety on university students. It has been

Originally I planned to observe a group, which focused or addressed the topic of depression or anxiety. However, when my plans to observe this group fell through I decided to watch a group video dealing with adolescences since this is the population I'd most like to work with in the future. The topic or the focus of the group seemed to be rather broad, with many subjects and sub-subjects being touched on. However, I believe that the main focus on the group was on helping the teens discover and learn about themselves such as things or aspects about themselves that they did like or what they considered their strengths and weakness. After watching the video, I had a difficult time deciding the type of the group, I had a hard time deciding between

I still felt lonely, and depressed despite the fact that I’ve been around people all day, and will be around people all day tomorrow. Anxiety overcame me as I had to ask to borrow a pencil or if I could sit with them. I felt like whenever I had to talk to a stranger, I was just being a vexatious, disturbing, pest that if they weren’t try to be polite they’d swat away. To me, all I could see were my constant screw ups. Although thousands of my peers were around me, I was lacking closeness. Nobody cared about me and I had no purpose. If I were to confide in somebody, they might tell me that I always had my family and they’d always love and care about me. Little did they know, I was going through extremely stressful times with my father. He was

On Wednesday, October 25th I had the opportunity to learn about anxiety and depression. I feel that the class was able to take a lot away from that day because we got to see the emotional side of some peers who deal with this. Seeing it up close and right in front of you makes it so much more real. It is no longer something you’ve just heard of. Now it is clear that this is real life and it is a real struggle for many people. Having peers speak up also showed how common anxiety and depression are.

“Everyone is anxious. It is something we all deal with.” That statement is not true. How can one know whether or not it is true? Look at the lives of fellow humans and get to know them, and maybe you would believe still that all struggle with anxiety. However, when spending just a few days or maybe weeks with a Christian, one can know definitively that it is not the case that all people struggle with anxiety. In studying the lives of Christians, the fact is clear that the vast majority of them are truly fearless with it comes to the future. They care not what the morrow brings; in fact, they care not if the morrow even comes! They are facing persecution that the world has never seen before. They are facing persecution that is truly unknown

The symptoms of anxiety and depression are closely related. While there are different variations of anxiety and depression there are multiple symptoms. The symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder include feeling wound up and on edge, concentrating can be difficult, muscle tension, sleeping issues, being fatigued, and increased irritability. Panic disorder symptoms involve immediate repeated attacks of fear, intense worries about future panic attacks, avoiding places where panic attacks happened previously. Social anxiety disorder has symptoms that involve felling self-conscious

The inability of people to control their emotions has been the onset of enough tragedy to put Shakesphere 's works to shame. Many times it is wilful lack of restraint that leads to these misforunes, however, there are cases where people have their entire lives ruined by their own hand without the ability to control the feelings that arise and give way to their detrimental impulses. These people suffer from bipolar disorder which is an affliction of the mind that causes the emotions of a person to fluctuate rapidly and more vigorously than normal people. The variation in feelings is brought about by changes in the psyche incited by episodes of elevated moods and periods of depression. The exalted disposition is known as mania or hypomania depending on the severity. During this phase, the victim may feel and/or act abnormally cheerful, sprightly, or contentious. Decisions that are poorly thought out are a common occurence from people suffering in this state of the sickness, and little concern is given to the consequences of their actions. On the other hand, people in the depressive stage develop an excessively morose attitude that can bring about self-loathing, apathy, self-injury, and other injurius feelings. The risk of self-injury and even suicide are quite high with suicide occuring in over 6% of people with the disorder and self harm occuring in 30-40%. The effects of either aspect of the disorder are enough to impair the quality of a person 's life, but in

Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are common in people who are unhappy. There are also some most irritating, annoying and depress feelings that repress individual’s skill. Cognitive theory of depression research has shown that people with depression are struggling with the feelings of hopelessness instead of people who have no depression (Sacco and Beck, 1995). A sense of hopelessness reflects a negative view of the outlook. This includes failure, and a persistence of pain and difficulty, and expectations of personal pleasure, a belief that nothing will get better. Thoughts of negative self also reflect by hopelessness. Depressed individuals view themselves more unresponsively, their self-esteem suffers, and they have little or no self-confidence. They do not believe they have any control or that they can help themselves to feel better. They may have an urge to give up and think, "What’s the use?" Research has also indicated that severe hopelessness may be a forecaster of suicide (Beck, 1987; Fawcett, 1990)
