While anxiety can be considered a stimulated response to stress and depression is looked at as state of low mood or energy. Everyone feels anxious and under stress from time to time. Similarly, life situations such as meeting tight deadlines, important social obligations or interacting with someone who does not make us feel our greatest can also bring about feeling down and not at our best. Anxiety and depression are more closely related than you might think. A person with depression often experiences a lot of anxiety, possibly even to the extent of having panic attacks.
