A member asked:
I have depression already. i don't sleep well and i worry about nonsense all the time. my mom has anxiety, so can it be genetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All mixed up: Causes for anxiety and depression can be stress, genetics or combination of both. Sleep problems can be caused by depression, anxiety or a medical condition so proper medical diagnosis is always a good idea. Trouble sleeping tends to acutely increase anxiety to some degree and also has been associated with increased risk of depression. Most is treatable after a good diagnostic assessment.
