Anxiety is a normal human response when a person is faced with a stressful situation. It can cause you to experience a range of physical and psychological symptoms. Psychological reactions can include insomnia, feeling irritable, inability to concentrate, a fear you are going mad, and feeling out of control of your actions. Physical reactions you may experience include dry mouth, diarrhea, heart palpitations, nausea, sweating, shaking, tightness in your chest and needing to urinate more than usual. Your tendency to experience anxiety varies depending on your personal resilience, biochemistry and genetic predisposition.
Mild anxiety can be beneficial if you are someone who works better under pressure. However, when your anxiety persists long after the situation is resolved, is out of proportion to the given situation, or is so severe it interferes with your ability to get through everyday activities, it becomes an Anxiety Disorder and you may require professional help.

Depression is a surprisingly common mental disorder, characterized by persistent low-mood, low self-esteem, a feeling of overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, lethargy and increased risk of physical illnesses.
Various types of depression exist and corresponding treatments are available. Depression may be present alongside other conditions such as anxiety or drug and alcohol addiction, which will worsen if left untreated. Depression can become a disabling condition that adversely affects a person’s personal relationships, work or school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health.
It is important for the condition to be properly assessed and intensive inpatient treatment may be necessary in cases where the person poses a significant risk of harm to themselves or others.
