Anxiety and Depression Disorder
When Worry and Low Mood Begin to Interfere
Anxiety and depressive disorders can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions on a daily basis. For many women, these concerns develop or intensify during periods of high stress, major life transitions, pregnancy, or postpartum changes. What may begin as manageable worry or low mood can gradually start to interfere with relationships, work, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
These conditions are common and treatable, and support can make a meaningful difference.
Common Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of anxiety and depression may look different from person to person and can fluctuate over time.
- Persistent worry, racing thoughts, or feeling on edge
- Ongoing sadness, emptiness, or emotional numbness
- Irritability or difficulty relaxing
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities
