Overwhelmed by Anxiety, Stress or Low Mood
Understanding Anxiety and Depression​
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health challenges people face. They can affect how you think, feel, and function in your day-to-day life. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like something is “off” but can’t quite explain it. These experiences are more than just a bad day or a moment of worry—they can linger and interfere with work, relationships, and your overall sense of peace.
If you’re struggling, you’re not alone—and things can get better.
Common Symptoms
Anxiety may include:
-
Constant worry or overthinking
-
Trouble relaxing or sleeping
-
A sense of dread or fear that won’t go away
-
Feeling on edge or irritable
-
Racing heart, sweating, or physical tension
-
Intense fear of social situations
Depression may include:
-
Ongoing sadness or emptiness
-
Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
-
Low energy or motivation
-

Everyone’s experience is different. You may notice some of these symptoms, or they may come and go in waves. You don’t need to have all of them for therapy to help.
