Dr . DuBosque shared that if any or all of these symptoms occur on most of the days in a six-month period , the condition may be GAD .
SEEK INSIGHT FROM THE EXPERTS
Dr . DuBosque says when considering the symptoms associated with major depression and GAD , there is clearly a great deal of overlap . That is why people not trained in assessing these conditions find it hard to know which is present . What ’ s more , as noted above , the two conditions can be co-occurring .
Consequently , if any of the symptoms of these two debilitating mental illnesses are present for a significant period of time , it is important to talk with your
healthcare provider . There are effective treatments for both depression and anxiety — from “ talk therapy ” to medication — and the sooner you start them , the sooner you can return to more normal functioning and better mental and emotional health .
