Depression with anxiety can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'minor' to 'life-threatening'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose depression with anxiety, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Anorexia/Starvation Tendency | 93% | Confirm |
DMAE Need | 22% | Unlikely |
Hypothyroidism | 4% | Ruled out |
Hypoglycemia | 4% | Ruled out |
When depressed, do you also feel agitated, anxious or have difficulty falling/staying asleep?
