Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders affect millions of people, impacting their day-to-day lives, relationships, and overall well-being. While everyone feels sad or worried at times, these conditions go beyond temporary feelings—they’re patterns of emotional and psychological distress that can linger and interfere with daily functioning. If you or someone you care about is struggling, you’re not alone, and support is available.

​

Common Signs of Anxiety, Depression & Mood Disorders:

Each of these conditions can manifest differently, but they often share common signs and symptoms. Here are some indicators that anxiety, depression, or a mood disorder may be affecting you or a loved one:

• Anxiety: Persistent worry or fear, racing thoughts, physical symptoms like restlessness, difficulty sleeping, or muscle tension.

• Depression: Ongoing sadness, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, changes in appetite or sleep patterns.

• Mood Disorders: Extreme mood swings, irritability, impulsivity, and periods of elevated mood or irritability followed by feelings of sadness or fatigue.

• Physical Symptoms: Chronic fatigue, unexplained aches and pains, difficulty concentrating, or feeling “out of control.”

• Social Withdrawal: Avoiding social situations, a sense of isolation, or feeling disconnected from loved ones.

These conditions can affect anyone, at any age. Left untreated, they may disrupt relationships, work, and overall quality of life. But with the right support, individuals can find ways to manage symptoms and regain control.
