How To Get Rid Of Anxiety And Depression

Comorbid Anxiety and Depression Treatment

Admitting that you have a problem and seeking help is the first step to conquering depression and anxiety. Often the root cause of these feelings can stem from past trauma, grief or substance abuse. An experienced therapist will work with you to examine these causes and determine an appropriate approach to treatment.

The treatment should be tailored to a specific diagnosis. A treatment plan for a diagnosis of depression, an anxiety disorder and substance addiction should be designed to help a person manage and reduce the symptoms of the disorders, often at the same time. The identification of all of the underlying causes and psychological factors that build to create these afflictions is the first step on the road to recovery.

Some people may have a disorder that causes most of the distress, and it is important to address it first. For example, if a person has developed PTSD due to a highly traumatic experience, they might be unable to begin treatment for depression until they confront and process their trauma. In other cases it is difficult to tell which set of symptoms is predominant, so treatment of both may start at the same time.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

CBT is often used to treat anxiety, depression and addictions. CBT can teach people to manage their fears, anxieties, and depressive symptoms by figuring out what's really causing them. People also learn how to take control of their emotions. CBT works to replace negative and unproductive thought patterns with more realistic and useful ones. These treatments focus on taking specific steps to overcome anxiety and depression. Interpersonal therapy, problem-solving therapy and in some cases hypnotherapy can also be effective treatments.

Medications

Medications may be prescribed to help treat conditions. Symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders often occur together, and research shows that both respond to treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) medications.

Exercise

Exercise can also help both depression and anxiety disorders as it releases chemicals in the body that make you feel good, and help you relax. Taking just a 10-minute walk may alleviate symptoms for several hours.

Relaxation Techniques

Relaxation techniques such as meditation and mindfulness have been proven to ease symptoms of both anxiety and depression and boost your quality of life.
