Arent there two separate conditions. Anxiety and treatment with benzos for it or some SSRI etc but if you take a benzo does it interfer with the ad working? Or are some just depressed? What's the difference anyone know. Seriously. Phillipa

Golly, that's a real chicken and the egg question for me. As I go down the therapeutic path, unraveling ptsd, today I'd say, for me, early-onset anxiety preceded depression. However, everyone is different. Anxiety, I think, just broke me down. And so, here I am :-)

I think they are two separate conditions but they usually go together, if that makes sense. I can totally see where anxiety could lead to depression. When I first suffered from depression in my teens I never had anxiety. It was only in my 30s that the anxiety started to occur. It's unbearable.

yes, one can precipitate the other i think. until recently, i was in complete denial about my depression because i had always considered myself an anxiety sufferer - which, for all its hassles, kept me motivated. now i just sit around all day.

So for some yes and others no. So I wonder about meds? Phillipa

i always suffered anxierty, an like you took a benzo now an then to help,anxierty kept me stick thin but with my job in consruction, built muscle to, in fact my body looked cool, sort of moddona muscle but a man,but anxierty took to much strain on my body an would bring me down to depression,i started an ad ,prozac an after a while didnt need benzos, but i grew fat on the med an it pooped in the end.since then i tried loads of ad,s an always used a benzo till they kicked in , or as in most case,s didnt,i should have changed my job but the money was great an i was good at bricklaying, but the heavy work load an my anxierty dragged me down till i would litraly pass out at work,depression realy took hold , i now im unable to work ,you no i take the benzo with my ad meds,i put on weight no matter how i eat or exercise i dont like it an its not natural for my body, but thats the way it goes
