The difference between anxiety and depression Acute anxiety disorder symptoms clinically manifest as a sudden onset of the patient after some acute trauma, feeling inexplicable panic, panic, sweating, pallor, and trembling of both hands. Acute anxiety attacks can last for a few minutes or a few hours. Sometimes the patient feels that everything is back to normal after the attack; other times, the patient is constantly in a state of tension and anxiety, fearing that the illness will come back. The clinical manifestations of chronic anxiety disorder are palpitations, irritability, and depression. This patient is easily nervous, easily irritated, the slightest sound of irritation and trouble, the patient can not tolerate, and even a temper tantrum, afterwards can be self-aware and have a sense of regret. Patients with anxiety disorders have a strong desire to seek medical treatment. Anxiety disorders are generally closely related to social factors and the personality of the person. Data show that in the era of increasing competition, human beings are suffering from anxiety disorders in a rapid increase; this patient’s personality characteristics are: suspicious, timid, sensitive, suffering from loss, loneliness, profound self-experience and strong dependence, etc. The six main manifestations of depression: 1, the decline in interest or even loss: people with a wide range of hobbies, once suffering from depression, this is easily perceived by the surrounding people. However, even if there are no hobbies, if the daily work, life enjoyment and the joy of family, etc. are all uninteresting and do not experience happiness, it is certain that there is a significant decline or loss of interest. 2.Sense of hopelessness: The patient feels that everything is bad for him/her, the future is bleak and hopeless. In contrast, normal people have hopes for the future, such as academic progress, career success, long and healthy life of family members, etc. They also often have various small wishes, such as saving money to buy a piece of high-end goods, enjoying a beautiful music, going out for a weekend family trip, etc. Loss of hope for the future is a manifestation of depression. 3.Sense of helplessness: this feeling is very painful, especially because the patient is difficult to express. Many patients do not want to go to the doctor, they are sure that the physician can not help, because he feels different from all other people, as if he has left the world, fallen into the bottom of the mountain, everything is irreparable, no one can save. The patient feels that his days are like years, and that he is lonely and alienated from others. 4. Decline in self-evaluation: The patient feels that he or she is actually incapable of doing anything and is a complete waste. At the very least, the patient feels that his or her intellectual abilities are not what they used to be. Some patients have a deep sense of guilt or even guilt. 5. Loss of vitality: The patient feels that his whole “person” has collapsed, crumbled, and fallen apart. It is clear that the main problem is not a lack of physical strength, but a loss of mental motivation, and that he needs to be urged or pushed to do anything (including self-care), otherwise he does not want to move at all. Many patients struggle to get up, but they can’t keep going. Patients think they have become “a puddle of mud can not get up.” 6, see depressed patients, always feel that the whole world of sad things have appeared in the patient. Depressed patients want to make themselves strong, but because they do not persist in treatment, their condition is repeatedly aggravated. Depression itself is a more difficult mental illness to treat, and the manifestations of depression are also more complex, so to treat it must be done before it is too late.
