When Anxiety and Depression Are Left Untreated
It is completely normal to feel symptoms of anxiety or depression during uncertain times. There is no better example than the year 2020 and all that it brought to the world. However, ongoing anxiety and depression are serious issues that require treatment at the best mental health rehab centers. When anxiety and depression are left untreated, the following dangers can occur:
- Substance abuse. As a way to self-medicate and self-soothe symptoms of depression, substance use can spiral out of control and lead to a dangerous addiction that can turn deadly.
- Worsening health conditions. Anxiety and depression can worsen health conditions such as chronic pain, sleep issues, and conditions related to the cardiovascular system.
- Negative impacts. Anxiety and depression can lead to many negative effects on one’s life. Everything from relationships, careers, quality of life, and more can be impacted.
- Suicide. Sometimes, untreated anxiety and depression symptoms become too much to bear. Suicide is prevalent among those who suffer from anxiety and depression.
