Explain to Neela at least three differences between depression and anxiety choosing three that apply in particular to her case.

While depression and anxiety are often found in the same person, they do have different symptoms, causes and treatment. Depression can be triggered by many factors, such as hormonal changes or stressful life events. Anxiety is usually triggered by fear and perceived threats. Second, depression can include sadness and feelings of unworthiness, while anxiety may cause sweating and trembling.

Antidepressants tend to be used more for the treatment of the first, while psychotherapy has a higher prevalence when treating the second. Neela could benefit from both treatments depending on the individual circumstances. These should be discussed by a mental specialist. Understanding the difference between anxiety and depression can assist individuals such as Neela in recognizing their conditions so they may explore appropriate treatment options.
