Depression and Anxiety

---

Anxiety is a normal and healthy emotion all people experience. It signals us to be alert to important situations and to be ready for impending danger. But when worry and fear become significantly more intense than is warranted and begin to interfere with life functions, anxiety disorder is likely the reason.

Depression is different from anxiety. Rather than feeling anxious and nervous, feelings of gloom and melancholy overwhelm. Feeling sad or down after experiencing a loss or disappointment is an emotion that everyone feels at one time or another. But when low mood and sadness is severe and lasts for long periods of time, it could be due to depression.

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness are a few of these emotions.  I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
