Overview

Understanding the difference between anxiety and depression can be confusing, especially because many symptoms overlap. Anxiety often shows up as constant worry, restlessness, and physical tension, while depression can bring persistent sadness, low energy, and loss of interest in daily activities. Recognising these distinctions is the first step toward getting the right support and treatment.
