Can Anxiety or Depression Change How a Person Copes with an Injury or Trauma?
Yes. However, the symptoms of an Anxiety Disorder or a Depressive Disorder are distinct from one another and may benefit from different approaches.
Both, however, share symptoms that can make coping and recovery harder, like problems with concentration and decision-making.
Getting the right diagnosis can lead to treatment to shift these symptoms from unmanageable to manageable. Learn more.
Happiness is Not a Character Trait, It's a Lens. Life is Complex and Unpredictable for Everyone.
Events naturally interrupt our life, sometimes in unexpected ways requiring a new perspective and tools. Learning coping mechanisms and receiving treatment are elements of psychotherapy and a physician’s guidance.
Be aware of triggers and trauma that impact your mood, For example:
- accidents and injuries
- death of a loved one
- life changes like job disruptions, divorce, marriage, relationships and/or parenting.
- illness
- traumatic experiences
- health treatment and surgery
How we deal with these events is different for each person.
The insight and experience of a psychiatrist can put these in context, indicating diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and a plan to move on to a stable and rewarding future.
Being unhappy should not be dismissed as a weakness or lack of willpower. Seeking therapy and treatment is a sign of a commitment to your health.
As a treater and as a Forensic Psychiatrist, Dr. Weiss investigates with compassion and skill.
