People often have difficulties distinguishing depression vs. anxiety. Some consider depression and anxiety to be the same condition. However, there are key differences between the two mental disorders. Many people, especially those with addiction issues, often have co-occurring depression or anxiety. At San Antonio Recovery Center, dual diagnosis treatment is available to provide the comprehensive support needed to overcome your drug addiction as well as the mental health conditions that contribute to your addiction, so you can avoid future relapse.

If you're battling a mental health condition as a result of an addiction or if your mental health condition has lead to your addiction, San Antonio Recovery Center can help. Our treatment center has the tools you need to overcome mental health issues and addiction. For more information about your treatment options, contact San Antonio Recovery Center at 866.957.7885 today.

Depression vs. Anxiety 

Some sources describe distinct similarities and differences when considering depression vs. anxiety. Other sources discuss the idea that they are part of the same comprehensive disorder. Many mental health experts say that the two disorders are not the same, even though they have similarities. Other mental health experts have said that these two conditions may be connected. 

Perhaps some confusion regarding depression vs. anxiety stems from the fact that the two disorders often occur with addiction disorders. The addiction rehab programs at the San Antonio Recovery Center provides a full continuum of care. Our programs treat all of your mental health needs, whether it's depression or anxiety.

Depression vs. Anxiety Symptoms 

When considering whether you have depression vs. anxiety, it is vital to know the symptoms of each disorder. Depression symptoms potentially include: 

  • Feeling overwhelmed with daily life 
  • Low energy regularly 
  • Feeling hopelessness or despair 
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness 
  • Suicidal thoughts 

Some signs of anxiety include: 

  • Difficulty concentrating 
  • Excessive worrying 
  • Feeling restless 
  • Easily fatigued 
  • Sleep difficulties 

While symptoms of these two disorders sometimes overlap, most experts today view them as different disorders. 

Mental Health Disorder Treatment Programs

At San Antonio Recovery Center, we offer a full continuum of care to provide the treatment necessary to successfully overcome your mental health disorders. Mental health therapy programs provided by San Antonio Recovery Center include:

Co-occurring Addiction and Depression or Anxiety

Many people that have an anxiety disorder or a major depressive disorder also have an addiction issue. Some people may turn to alcohol or other drugs to cope with the underlying mental health issue.

Researchers conducted a study on the issue of treating co-occurring substance use disorders and anxiety disorders. The researchers determined that the conditions occur together ‘at a high rate.’

Having the co-occurring conditions is likely a struggle for many individuals with co-occurring substance abuse and anxiety or depression. The presence of one of the conditions can potentially worsen the symptoms of the other condition.
