Anxiety disorder is not your garden variety of nervousness. Anybody can feel nervous or anxious when faced with a real threat - an exam, an impending disaster, a threat to life, illness, a situation causing trauma or distress.
Racing/pounding heart, sweating, muscle and/or stomach cramps, nausea, shortness and/or shallowness of breath, blurring of vision, confusion or brain fog, dizziness, freezing: these are the ways in which the nervous system reacts when faced with a threat, real or imaginary.

Every time I see someone who has no clue about #depression and #anxiety talk about these and further perpetuate the myths, misperception, misinformation and ultimately stigma, around these disorders, my blood just boils!
#Depression or #MajorDepressiveDisorder is not sadness or weakness of character. It is not caused by lack of religion or spirituality. No one knows what causes someone to get #depression . There are genetic, biological, social and psychological factors associated.
