Anxiety and irritability

If you suffer from depression it is very common for you to feel worried and anxious too. Anxiety may relate to your finances or other common problems.

If you are suffering from severe depression, you may be afraid of catastrophes, which you feel are unavoidable, but in reality are unlikely.

Anxiety, perplexity and restlessness are obvious symptoms of agitated depression.

Sometimes, particularly in men but also in some women, your mood swings may manifest themselves as increased irritation. You may become:

• Discontented
• Touchy
• Quick-tempered
• Restless
• Aggressive

Instead of being passive you are active, even though you don't achieve anything out of this. Your thoughts are the same as with other types of depression. They are characterized by feelings of low self-esteem, pessimism and negativity.
