Question: Is depression and anxiety more common these days!?
OR!.!.!.are they just more readily diagnosed and discussed!?

If these conditions are more common, what do you think the reasons are!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think it is a combination of both things!. First, I think it is more readily diagnosed -- someone isn't just tired and fatigued, they have depression; someone isn't just nervous, they have anxiety!. Second, I think it it is more common because of the rat race that exists in the United States especially!. I think here in the US people are forced by our culture to work according to standards that are above and beyond what people should work -- 80+ hour work weeks, people rarely getting to take vacations, etc!. I think these standards can lead to depression and anxiety being more prominent!. Of course, it could be people are seeking help more often than they used to for these conditions, as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People are more aware, and also medications are over prescribed for mild anxiety and natural depression( like if you just lost a loved one)!. It's natural to feel sad when something bad happens, but for people who feel depressed all the time, they are the ones that need help, same with anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well when i was little I was diagnosed with ADHD, which have many of the same characteristics with bi-polar, and my ADHD made my bi-polarness worse! which as I got older they were able to diagnose me with, & along with that and over the years of abuse I have depression and anxiety!.

I just think they learn more about these things,
&& thats how, hey give me a break, I'm only 15!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think, depression and anxiety is a side affect of technology!.
To much time to think,!.!.!.not enough physical activity!.

I had depression once, and then started working on a farm!.
Within the first month my depression improved 90%,!.!.probably because I wasn't sitting around thinking to much about things and running my behind off to get things done!. The more jobs around the farm I completed during a days work, the better I felt!.

I figure that life was much more physical in the old days!. It has only been the past 100years that human kind is spending crazy amounts of time just thinking about things!. Technology has made it so easy for us that we are paying for it now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when a doctor don't know whats wrong with you they say your depressed so he puts you on Prozac or another pill we have nothing to do anymore that we get board and sad because we have nothing to do not like the old days when you never had enough time to get things done!. Every body I know is on something that keeps us numb and we can go on eventually we will be unemotional society but we will be content!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that its both- theres more anxiety and depression AND doctors know more about the disorders!.

I think it's more common because right now is a particularly stressful time with the bad economy, and the wars, and shootings and everything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it is!. We live in a society where our basic needs are met, it's fast paced, materialistic, we have many options and we are spiritually hungry Life is very complex now and as a result we experience depression and anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
