Recognizing anxiety and depression: what every West Ashley neighbor should know. Here are three things to know. Anxiety is more than worry. Signs include persistent worry or fear about everyday things, a racing heart, sweating or shortness of breath, and avoiding social situations. Many people also have trouble sleeping or concentrating, feel irritable or restless, or notice muscle tension and headaches. Depression can affect anyone. Key signs include a sad or empty mood most days for at least two weeks, and losing interest in things you once enjoyed. Changes in sleep, appetite or energy, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and pulling away from people are also signs. Your first visit includes a detailed history, standardized screening questionnaires and a safety assessment. Together you build a plan that may include therapy, medication or both. If you have thoughts of death or suicide, get help right away. Call or text 988 at any time, or go to the nearest emergency room. Read the full article at hopeintegrativemed.com. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
