Is anxiety worse than depression FOR YOU

Posted by PaulB on October 28, 2001, at 10:12:15

Hi ya

I used to think that depression was much worse to bear than anxiety, both generalised, social and obsessive however I was on a walk the other week and I collapsed and said that I couldnt take this anymore. I wasnt depressed. I was very anxious-generalised.

I would appreciate feedback on how other people compare their experience of depression with anxiety. "I" would assume most would say depression was worse. Depression does rate higher than anxiety on a list of the most unbearable diseases. Of course, I accept that this is far too complex a discussion as their are varying degrees of both depression and anxiety but as I mentioned feedback would be appreciated.

I would like to add I read a very interesting article the other day in the observer magazine entitled 'Terror Vision', subtitle 'The attack on New York has made us all more anxious. With good reason. But imagine feeling acute anxiety all the time, for no apparent reason: a nightmare soundtrack that accompanies your life. Generalised Anxiety Disorder now has official recognition and the numbers of sufferers are soaring. Jane Phillimore worries about why'

Some, may have got lost in this rather long post of mine. Bottom line; How does depression rate to anxiety[obsessive, generalised, social, panic] for you.
