Topic: Anxiety and Depression - page 2. (Read 2258 times)

The main cause of depression is stress - and that is a fact (I've been in a nuthouse lol and the whole cycle and causes are explained). Anxiety is more of a personal trait, and is not pleasant. It feels at times you trapped and have to get out - especially if there are alot of people around.

If you know you suffer from the above you are half way there, it was actually a relief when I got diagnosed because then you know what is wrong with you and how to handle it (especially anxiety - it's bad)

Life is wonderful, we all have issues but if you see the beauty in the world you become more content. If however you witness unjust behaviour and you do something about it feels if you've concurred the demons.

If you're prone to experience these syndromes in teenage years, they're most likely going to continue to bother you in your early 20s and up to 30s, if you don't deal with them

depression can be at any age if a person is infringed and doesn't allow him to be himself...it can be like a small child who is forbidden to play or an adult who decided that he had to adapt to the society

In my opinion,adolescence stage is most vulnerable to anxiety and depression.This is the stage where a person was trying ti prove something.There's a lot of stress on this stage,most of the tine its work related or sometimes people are heartbroken at this stage. Love and career are usually the cause of anxiety and depression.  Family issues can also cause depression. It all depends on the situation the person on how he/she handle things.

There are differend kind of depression for every age, and another type of depression occurs when you become a Shitcoins Whale.

Adolescence stage i’m pretty sure. I have experienced it myself. Most of the suicide cases on news are mostly teenagers with anxiety and depression. Its very alarming because not all teenagers open up their problems and parents don't know whats running on their minds.

For me, it is early adulthood. The pressure of having a great career and soon to have a family. There are so many expectations after you graduate that you don't even know how to start.

I'm on my early 30th and Yes, I'm depressed once a while.
I had a gf when I was 19 years old, which has serveral depression issues and it's horrible, he had killed herself the last year :/

I think it's ij the range of early adulthood, because we tend to encounter a lot of problem, financially and mentally.

I think in adolescence. People think that teenagers only knows how to enjoy life, party here and there, hang out every day. We might look happy when we're surrounded by friends but once that we get alone we feel depressed too. Some are depressed because of family problems, school problems, relationships and many more. Yeah we might look energetic but maybe we are just facing a mask.

Depression is really happen to those person who have many problem that can't resolve maybe because of their status in life,  its not on the age i think its in the living that you have.

I can talk from a personal experience. The first time i felt depression was back in high school when i was 18. For me it was a bunch of reasons. I was worried about my personal life, going to college, and looking back about what i achieved until that day of my life. And trust me i have very good results. But depression is not something that you cure with a good results. It is the feeling like we are going to miss something particular in our lives. And depression was later responsible for my bad results at college as I missed my friends, school and everything.

I completely agree with your claims. The conditions that people live in are affecting their mental health. Bread and butter anxiety makes people feel depressed and anxious about their future. It does not matter whether you are young or old, you can suffer from anxiety and depression.

I've seen alot of kids that are depressed in their early to late teens. In these stages they are looking for a niche in their society and wants to do things their way. In this stage, they don't identify themselves as kids anymore and they can't quite identify themselves as adult so they're stuck in between. In this confusion they have to find out their sexual preferences, their social circles and what they're really passionate about. Besides that, failure also play a role in depression so emotional support is very much needed

Early adulthood,,,in this age almost everyone gets easily depressed.

Why teenagers get depressed?

Social life, such as family relationships, friendships, romance or academic problems at school often make teenagers feel depressed. in fact, it can be a source of mild teenage stress-which if left can last long and lead to depression. Some of the factors that can cause depression in adolescents include:

• Genetic factors

• Hormonal changes

• Biological factors, depression due to biological factors occur if neurotransmitters are natural brain chemicals disrupted

• Trauma that occurs during childhood, such as physical or emotional abuse, loss of parent

• Negative thinking habits

What are the characteristics of teenagers experiencing depression?

When teenagers get depressed, teenagers will lose their motivation and passion in doing their daily activities, even to what they like. they will also be alone, shut themselves in the room for some time to calm thoughts and feelings.

.Depressed teenagers will also lose appetite, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, difficulty remembering, apathetic, feeling sad, anxious, desperate, tend to do negative things, even have a desire to commit suicide.

Distinguish depression in adolescents and ordinary sad feelings

feelings of sadness, disappointment, or despair is a natural thing experienced by teenagers, and it does not mean the teenager is suffering from depression. so to distinguish between feelings of sadness and depression, we must invite them to speak, to see if they are capable or unable to manage their feelings.

however, if the feeling of sadness lasts longer or begins to interfere with adolescent life, then go to the doctor to find out the true situation and proper handling.

What parents should do to help depressed teenagers

• Learn about depression. the first step is to study depression to help you find out about the signs or symptoms, treatment, and care of depressed children.

• Watch for signs or warnings. once you know about the symptoms of depression, you need to be more sensitive to what your child is showing you-good feelings and behaviors. Knowing early signs of depression may reduce the risk of worsening depression.

• Communication with children. when you see your child has signs of depression, try to get your child to communicate to know what your child is feeling and thinking. It makes your child feel not alone in experiencing difficult times .

Adolescence, and possibly a little more adult, because people try to find themselves in this age

Early Adulthood.,for me this kind of condition affects everyone, it's robs you of you joy, peace of mins and rotten you bone, just as the scripture say, Merry heart doeth like a medicine but a broken spirit dried bone.

It is very difficult to chose between Anxiety and Depression. Could I please have both?

unfortunately this is where this type of situation is most experienced,

Having responsibilities, waiting to collect, generates anxiety.
