I'm curious of peoples opinions. Do you think that you can experience anxiety without being depressed or be depressed without experiencing anxiety? They are often coupled together, and I was curious what you all may think.

I completely think you can, they are commonly commorbid but I know others who just struggle with anxiety, without depression.

Hi there,

You are right in the sense that some people experience depression and anxiety together. Despite depression and anxiety disorders being different, people with depression often experience symptoms similar to those of anxiety such as nervousness, irritability, and problems sleeping and concentrating. However, there are some people that only experience one and not both.

Hope this helped you smiley
