Depression, Anxiety and other phobias are part of our psychological phenomenon in the medical science. Depression is caused due to chemical imbalance in the nervous system of a person. This is concerned with psychological conditioning of the patient. On the other note, Anxiety is caused due to the imbalance in the body of a person. Anxiety is concerned with the emotional behavior of the patient. Though Depression and Anxiety are two disorder forms of the same category, they have different symptoms. Feeling of hopelessness, negativity, lack of concentration, feeling of guilt and decrease in energy are some of the common symptoms of Depression. While, tension of day to day work, dizziness, nausea, difficulty in breathing and light headedness are few common symptoms of Anxiety. There are many forms of Depression and Anxiety. Panic Attacks, Social Disorders, Specific Phobias are the types of Anxieties. Psychological Predisposition and Environmental Stresses are the types of Depressions. All these symptoms can cause hazardous diseases in the long run. So, you should take extra care of yourself, if you are suffering from either of these troubles. Depression and Anxiety can not be fully cured, but can be treated for sure with the help of proper medication and therapies. The medical practitioners hold few sessions to understand the mental conditioning of the patient and suggest appropriate medical aid. Anti-Depressants, Anti-Anxiety medications and other types of medications are aimed at alleviating symptoms of Depression and Anxiety.

Many people think of anxiety disorders as something like a fear of walking into a room full of strangers, or perhaps a strong fear of public speaking. They might recognize a condition like agoraphobia, a fear of leaving the home or going into open spaces, as an anxiety disorder, but don’t think much beyond that. But there are other types of social phobias and disorders that fall into this category, some of which receive very little attention from the general public. And all of them have characteristics that make them difficult either to diagnose or to treat.

Eating disorders may be distantly recognized by most people as having some relation to anxiety, but they are probably more associated in people’s minds with things like peer pressure or obsessive compulsive behavior. But conditions like anorexia, bulimia or binge eating, while they are all associated with eating and a preoccupation with body weight or shape, can sometimes stem from traumatic experiences like child abuse or anxieties produced by family or peer pressure.

Question by Vampyredolly: Is there a solution for my problem [anxiety]?
I feel anxious in a car and often get the symptoms of a panic attack. I can usually calm myself down a little until the ride is over but for the whole day I feel like I’m on edge and have to focus on calming down. It’s so uncomfortable and I can’t just lay down/relax. I feel like I can’t breathe. I take magnesium and it can only help so much. I don’t know what to do or what to take. I’m doing progressive muscle relaxation or deep breathing. I do not want to be that person that avoids going out because of a previous attack. I’ve been pushing myself to go out even though I feel the impeding attack. I don’t feel well enough to eat as much as I used to. I don’t have insurance whatsoever so is there a way to get medication for my situation ? I want to be able to function normally again.
Yes, I’ve looked online.
