It is easy to see the connection between anxiety and panic attacks, however we can add depression into that group of mental disorders as well. All three of these conditions are debilitating and impact every aspect of your life. All three can be so devastating on their own, but imagine the impact when the three of these disorders are going on in your life all at once.

Most of us can understand the days when we just want to go back to sleep and put the pillow over our heads. We say we are depressed, we don.t feel like going to work and so on. Take that feeling and add it to every day of your life. Imagine what it would be like to live that way wishing you would rather be sleeping, wishing you didn.t have to go to work, wishing you didn.t have to see people and wishing you didn.t feel the way you do. Imagine feeling guilty and anxious about these feelings and anxious about everything else in life. Depression left untreated can produce symptoms of anxiety.

Depression with anxiety is a type of depression different from the kind, which does not produce these symptoms. Depression on its own will cloud our way of thinking, it will affect our decision-making it will stop us from doing a lot of things in life that would normally like to do. It will interfere with our relationships and sometimes become the underlying factor behind a divorce. Anxiety can come from the depression, but it can also come from the many stressors in our life. It can come from the pressures on our job, the to make money, to meet deadlines, to sometimes do more work than we are capable of doing and the pressures to make decisions or even work with less than agreeable bosses or co-workers. These factors and more can wreck havoc on our nervous system. Then there are pressures at home with the spouse and kids, and there are pressures in our relationships, arguments and fights with our loved ones, dating issues, dealing with financial stressors, home repairs, car repairs and the list just never seems to end. The anxiety just builds up and there does not seem to be any relief in sight.

Anxiety can get so out of control that the physical symptoms such as rapid heart beat, sweating, and shortness or breath, (hyperventilation) can soon surface, and with these symptoms panic attacks often follow. Panic attacks are scary, the anxiety escalates and the feeling of been out of control sets in. Some people get so fearful when they are having a panic attack that they feel like they are having a heart attack and they are going to die.

The location where panic attacks occur can also be dangerous. Some people are known to have a panic attack right in the middle of driving in their car. When a panic attack occurs when driving or operating machinery in a factory on the job or any other dangerous situation it can cause a serious accident. That is why people who are subject to this kind of anxiety and panics attacks are often afraid to go out among people.

However, a panic attack can happen in a controlled environment and cause a disturbance as well. Students sitting exams have been known to have panic attacks and have had to be escorted out of the examination room. Panic attacks cause embarrassment to the victims and makes the people around them very uneasy. Again another reason for people who have panic and anxiety attacks to stay home and become further depressed.

If you are suffering from depression with anxiety and or panic attacks, know that help is out there, go and get therapy. You can prevent the panic attacks, relieve the symptoms and anxiety and depression and life a good healthy life.
