If you feel you have depression or have even been diagnosed with depression your often looking around for a cause.
Most people that experience anxiety might think its as a result of the decrease in confidence that depression has given them.
However, it might well be the anxiety that is the cause of the depression.
It's important to remember that anxiety does not always result in depression.
So if you experience anxiety in any form then it doesn't mean you will be suffering from depression soon also.
In most cases anxiety isn't causing the depression but just accompanying it.
You could experience anxiety when using the public transport to get to work but this isn't because you're scared of public transport.
This is more then likely because you are already suffering from depression and not enjoying everyday life as it currently is.
However, their can be a flip side to this and it could be that your inability to travel is what is making you depressed.
For example, if you have had a long term disorder about travelling on public transport then you may very well end up getting depressed by the situation your condition has limited you too.
It's common that the issue that is causing the depression is also causing the anxiety also.
For example, divorce or family death.
Therefore, if you learn to cope with the actual situation you will more then likely get over both the anxiety and the depression.
It's often hard to get to the root of the problem and work out if anxiety is what is causing your depression.
However, if it's a long term anxiety you have had then more then likely it is the cause of your depression.
Try to think positive and remember there are plenty of professionals who can help you over come depression and anxiety through many methods.
If your anxiety is related to public places or events then even hypnotherapy can be a good way to get over it.
