Maxwell asked:


I have anxiety disorder and depression, and my psychiatrist mentioned that it may be good for me to get on medication for my condition(s). I was wondering what is the difference between anxiety medications and anti-depressants? Can they be taken together or would they interfere with eachother? Would it be wise for me to take medications for both conditions?

cad monkey 208 asked:


I have a problem with nervousness especially when visiting a doctor, my heart starts pounding very hard and my palms start sweating heavily and I usually have the urge of running out on my appointment. It gets worse when they monitor my blood pressure it usually reads dangerously high due to my nervous attacks. I have similar symptoms when I have to public speak or be interviewed for a job. Are these signs of anxiety? Does anybody have similar symptoms I have?

corona7w asked:


I’m leaving for college in about a month and a half and the anxiety is rather overwhelming. I’ve never left my parents for long periods of time in my life, and the thought of seeing them only 4 times a year is just depressing, even though the school is around 6 hr drive from home. I keep imagining the moment when we wave goodbye to each other on move-in day, and my mom starts tearing up. (I’m tearing up right now as I write this.) Is there anyway to overcome this anxiety?

B asked:


I get very very nervous around people i don’t know, and I would really really like to be more social but i end up getting anxiety about it, due to my stutter, as i do have a severe stutter. I never had social anxiety till after stopping the anti anxiety meds, in which i was on for general anxiety disorder.

I know what anxiety is, I just don’t know when having anxiety becomes a disorder. Can anyone explain it to me?
