My questions is this, what is the value of looking at the interrealtionship bewteen stress, anxiety and depression in any given population? What do we learn from looking at all three together that we would not from looking at say stress and anxiety or deprression and anxiety? Is the relation between stress, anxiety and depression important?
Yes. It is important to clearly distinguish between stress related disorders, depressive disorder and anxiety disorders.
The management would definitely be different for each,especially when it comes to non pharmacological approaches.
Dear Minoo,
Thank you for your reply.
I agree with you that it is importnat to distinguish between teh 3, however, my question is realted to their interrealtionship. Why is it importanrt to know what the interrealtionship bewteen the 3 is in any given populatio.n For examp,l,e if I was looking at fathers in the perin,atal what would be the impotance of knowing the interelationshi bewteen stress, anxiety and depressio. Of course I would like to assess stress, anxiety and depression on their own but what would be the point of trying to understand the interrealtionship? What is there to be gained?What are benefits of understanding the interrealtionship?
Dear Beatrice,
Thank you for your reply.
I understand that there is a connection, however, what is to be gained by knowing about the interrealtionship? I have looked at a lot of papers over the last few weeks taht have examined stress, anxiety and depression, yet none of them addressed why it was important to know the interrealtionship,and none of them stated how knowing would be benefical.
Their correlation could affect the prognosis and progression of the disorder. so has implications on treatment plan
If people are depressed they also feel anxiety while they correlate. If there is a gap between a person's ideal self and his real self there is a stress or depression response. If you have to fear all the time or suffer from general anxiety disorder (GAD) you are subject to generalized stress adaption (GAS) syndrom which process ends with exhaustio.
If you are stressed, anxious and depressed you are more sensitive to pain because a human being is a whole, not parts of something.
