Statistics indicate that depressive and anxiety disorders affect nearly 18.8 million American adults or about 9.5% of the U.S population above 18 years of age. Both depression and anxiety affect so many of us and yet it often goes undiagnosed, leaving you feeling helpless, hopeless, tearful, guilty, weak and in physical pain. What once brought you happiness now just feels so exhausting and isolating. Patients suffering from depression often experience trouble sleeping, irritability and sometimes thoughts of suicide and self-harm, just to make the pain go away. Anxiety can leave us feeling shameful, overwhelmed, frightened, and consumed with panic and worry that feels like it’s never going to end.
