Depression is a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities. For many people with depression, symptoms usually are severe enough to cause noticeable problems in day-to-day activities, such as work, school, social activities or relationships with others.  You may have a problem with depression if you feel:  

• Feelings of sadness, tearfulness, emptiness or hopelessness
• Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, even over small matters
• Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much
• Tiredness and lack of energy, so even small tasks take extra effort

 Worry and fear are normal parts of life. But when these feelings don't go away or they're excessive, they can be signs of an anxiety disorder.

You may have a problem with anxiety if you often feel:

• Overwhelmed by worry
• Cranky or on edge
• Sweaty or shaky
• Like you're out of control
