Diagnosing Depression and Anxiety 

Depression and anxiety disorders are, first and foremost, mood disorders—that is, disorders related to human feelings and emotions. In many other fields of medicine, blood tests and physical examinations are carried out to identify the disease. This cannot be done when dealing with depression and anxiety disorders. Healthcare practitioners will primarily talk to the patient in order to formulate a diagnosis. It is very common that these individuals show no outward physical signs, despite intense and often unbearable mental obstacles they face daily. Some of the key symptoms a health professional will watch out for include: 

Anxiety: 

  • Constant worry 
  • Restlessness 
  • Lack of sleep 
  • Heart palpitations 
  • Panic attacks 

Depression: 

  • Intense emotions such as sadness and grief 
  • Unusually persistent emotions 
  • Lethargy
  • Changes in appetite/weight
  • Sleep disruptions

How Are Depression and Anxiety Treated? 

There are a number of diverse treatment options for depression and anxiety; lifestyle interventions include a better diet and more exercise, medical interventions like anti-depressants and, finally, counseling services such as those offered by Thriveworks Silver Spring, MD. 

Typically, medical and lifestyle interventions help patients to manage and reduce their symptoms, yet are not designed to tackle the underlying cause of their emotional problems. Talk-based counseling methods, on the other hand, focus on recognizing the root cause of the disorder. They aim to reduce the symptoms by directly addressing the issues surrounding the origins of the patient’s mental health difficulties.
