Are Anxiety and Depression a Similar Thing?
Anxiety and depression are not the same thing, but they do share some similarities, and they do frequently appear together.

Even though depression and anxiety are different disorders, depression can often lead to anxiety and vice versa. The reason why this happens is that any disorder is going to disrupt your social functioning.
There are high functioning and low functioning people. Any psychological disorder is going to lead you towards becoming a low-functioning individual, and once that happens, living successfully becomes close to impossible. Being unsuccessful can often lead to developing new disorders, which is why all psychological issues are intertwined.
