What part of the brain causes anxiety and depression?


It’s believed that two parts of the brain are responsible for anxiety and depression: the amygdala and the hippocampus. The dorsomedial thalamus may be involved in depression. It’s not really known what causes anxiety or depression, but there may be a predisposition for anxiety or depression that runs in families and is triggered by trauma or negative life circumstances.

In the late fall season, depression becomes more common. It’s also common for anxiety and depression to exacerbate each other, and symptoms can be quite severe. It’s definitely important to seek professional care if you suspect you or a loved one may be dealing with one issue or the other, or both.

What are the symptoms of depression?


It’s common for depression to manifest itself physically and in other ways with stomach pains, disrupted sleep, or headaches, but there are many other mental symptoms and other symptoms. Anxiety can be a sign and symptom of depression. Some of the more common symptoms of depression tend to be:

A loss of interest in some of the activities you used to enjoy, even sex
Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or anxiety
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism, guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
Restlessness, fatigue, low energy, and/or irritability
Trouble with focusing, remembering, or decision making

What help is available for anxiety?


There definitely is help available. First, it’s important to have anxiety or depression properly diagnosed, which means getting it professionally diagnosed. This involves professional evaluation and physical tests. As for treatment, quite often, a combination of both psychotherapy and pharmacology (medication) is the best approach to take.
