But what if you have both depression and anxiety? Could this be possible to have both the number one and number two mental health disorders all wrapped up into one little package known as you? The answer is yes.

Let's Examine the main symptoms of depression and see if there are any relations between these symptoms and anxiety:

*Decreased productivity
*Decreased productivity
*Guilt about the past
