Profesnl. you trust: Courtney, depression and anxiety all too often travel hand-in-hand - and trigger one another. Your recognition of your challenges is an understated step in healing.

Depression: First get a physical examination to find out if you are ill. If you are OK then it would be good to consult with a clinical psychologist to get help. There are also medicines that can help along with psychotherapy and a psychiatrist can help you with choosing the right one.
