Stress disorders - Anxiety (also known as post-traumatic stress disorder) caused by the exposure to either death or near-death circumstances such as fires, floods, earthquakes, shootings, automobile accidents, or wars, for example. The traumatic event is re-experienced in thoughts and dreams. Common behaviors include the following:


Avoiding activities, places, or people associated with the triggering event


Difficulty concentrating


Difficulty sleeping


Being hypervigilant (you closely watch your surroundings)


Feeling a general sense of doom and gloom with diminished emotions such as loving feelings or aspirations for the future

Answer 2

Either one can influence the other, and in fact one usually does end up promoting the other. Depression and anxiety are very commonly comorbid, meaning they occur together at the same time. It is actually more common for anxiety and depression to occur together than it is for someone to have just depression or just anxiety. Depression can cause anxiety because when a person is depressed, everything feels hopeless and sad. They feel like the future is worthless, there is nothing worth living for, they are useless, etc. That is anxiety-provoking because the person starts to worry about the future. Will they ever get better? Will there ever be hope? Will anyone ever love them, or will they be sad and alone forever? All of those worries build up and it ends up making the person very anxious, which may snowball into an entirely separate anxiety disorder. On the other hand, anxiety can also cause depression. Being anxious is depressing in itself, because anxiety tends to be all-consuming and very controlling. Anxiety is insidious, it infects every thought you have and every move you make. It can alter a person's life, making them not leave the house, not hang out with friends, not enjoy the things they used to, all because they are afraid of one thing or another. You can see how being afraid of everything all the time would be depressing and cause someone to develop depression. There is also a biochemical link between the two. Both anxiety and depression are believed to be caused by a decrease in the neurotransmitter serotonin. Since they are both believed to be caused by a drop in the same neurotransmitter, it makes sense that they would happen together. I hope that helps!
