Treating Depression and Anxiety Disorders Together

When anxiety and depression are co-existent, treatment for both may be more complex than the treatment for one condition by itself. Talking with a mental health professional and pursuing a healthy lifestyle can be helpful.

Symptoms

The symptoms of anxiety disorders differ from those of depression. However, it's common for people to have both. Depression is typically characterized by a constant low mood, whereas anxiety can cause feelings of anxiety and nervousness.

Talk therapies include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy. These therapies assist you in changing the patterns of thought and behaviour that trigger depression or anxiety.

Your doctor could refer you a psychologist, counsellor, social worker or psychiatrist. Medicare offers rebates for the majority of these specialists.

Psychological interventions, primarily talk therapy with a health professional or supervised lay therapists are a vital element in treating anxiety disorders. They teach you how to think, handle and deal with your anxiety and other people. They can include exposure therapy, which is where you learn to face the events, situations and people that trigger your anxiety.

These psychological therapies are accessible in person or via the internet. Some are based on cognitive-behavioural therapy, including a technique called mindfulness and acceptance training. This involves focusing your attention to what you are able to control and identifying the realisticness of your negative thoughts. You can attempt to alter those thoughts or you can simply accept them and find other healthy ways to manage stress and anxiety.

In addition to psychotherapy, the most important preventive measures are getting adequate amounts of sleep, eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. Refraining from drinking and using drugs can be beneficial, too. Even when you're feeling better it's essential to adhere to your treatment plan. Stopping abruptly antidepressant or anxiety medications can trigger relapse and withdrawal-like symptoms.

Some of the causes of depression and anxiety are physical, for example glandular fever, influenza, hepatitis, thyroid hormones and certain drugs, such as sedatives, benzodiazepines and some blood pressure medications.
