Depression can show up in many ways. It can include feelings of sadness, apathy, lack of motivation, hopelessness or even anger. Anxiety can also show up as lack of motivation, feelings of being overwhelmed, anger, or even panic attacks.

Depression and anxiety often exacerbate each other and people with depression commonly have difficulty concentrating on tasks and conversations. Some people abuse alcohol and drugs or overeat as a way of coping, causing them to develop other medical problems.
