WHAT IS ANXIETY
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe. It is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences at times, but for some people, it can become overwhelming and interfere with daily life. It can be triggered by everyday stressors or occur without a noticeable cause. There are several types of anxiety disorders, each with its own unique features.
Common Anxiety Disorders include Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Specific Phobias such as heights or flying.

WHAT IS DEPRESSION
Depression is a condition that impacts a person's mood, thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is often characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. Depression can be triggered by various factors such as genetics, life events, and brain chemistry. Depression is more than just a fleeting feeling of emptiness; it can significantly impact your quality of life and typically requires professional attention to manage and overcome. Depression is often termed a ‘whole-body disease’ as it affects everything about the person- mind, body, spirituality, work, and quality of relationships. Depression looks different for different people, so symptoms will be individual to each person and their history.
