Depression often manifests physically through abdominal pain, headaches, trouble sleeping or sleeping too much, and difficulty with motor control. The cause of depression is unknown, but a predisposition to depression runs in families and can be caused by trauma or adverse life circumstances. Depression is more commonly diagnosed in women, and women tend to have different symptoms than men.
Anxiety is fear, dread, and discomfort. You may sweat, feel restless, nervous, and your heart rate may increase. It may be a normal stress response. For example, you may feel anxious when facing a difficult problem at work, before an exam, or before making an important decision.
You are more likely to suffer from depression after giving birth or in late autumn. Depression and anxiety often reinforce each other, and people with depression often have difficulty concentrating on work or conversations. Some people may abuse alcohol or drugs or overeat to cope, leading to other medical problems. People with depression are also at increased risk of harming themselves.
