Depression & Anxiety (Mental Health) Tomball
Depression is a common condition that affects people of any age group. The symptoms can vary from constant sadness and anxiety, negative thinking, changes in sleep and appetite, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritability. Many of these symptoms may not be obvious to the patient and often happen slowly so they are not that noticeable.
Overview
When these symptoms persist for at least two weeks, it is considered “major depression.” Left untreated, depression may last for weeks, months, or even years. A person suffering from depression cannot control their feelings, and it can drastically affect their quality of life and their relationships with family and friends.
Anxiety is the condition when one is nervous to the point that it affects daily living. While everyone can be anxious in a scary or threatening situation, some find this nervousness affects their lives more and more with time.
