I’ve been wondering for a long time how does one know if depressed vs anxiety. I know myself to have anxiety been told and diagnosed from doctor. But overtime thinking can be depression?
Anxiety and depression are two different things, but anxiety and depression often coexist. Depression is more of a low mood and lack of hope type of feelings/thoughts. Anxiety sufferers often develop depression as a result of the anxiety. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between the two in a diagnostic setting. Overtime thinking aka ruminating, can be attributed to both.
