Anger and Depression

One Can Help To Heal The Other

Do you have both anger and depression--or just one and not the other? Like many people, you might not know for sure. You might be angry and not know it, and you can also be depressed and not know it.

Did you know that it almost impossible to be really angry and depressed at the same time? Well it is, and here's why:

In some ways, anger and depression are opposite of each other. When you're depressed you often feel bad about yourself, and when you're angry you're blaming others.

When you're angry, you are ready to move or do something about your situation--even if it's not a good thing to do at all!

When you're depressed, you've probably given up on doing anything. Depression is a kind of shut-down mode, and usually means not doing anything.

Depression often feels hopeless, and getting angry can be a step in the right direction. If you're depressed and get angry, it might motivate you to do something--as a matter of fact, healthy anger can produce healthy action!

If you're not sure whether you have issues with anger and depression, you can take the anger test here, and you can also take our depression test.

While there are a lot of different treatments for depression, Dr. DeFoore has found that lasting recovery requires personal counseling that gets to the root of the problem. Our approach here is not a medical one. We will help you find the underlying psychological and emotional causes of your depression and resolve them once and for all.

Here are some of the depression warning signs or symptoms of depression that you might watch for:

Decrease in smiling and laughter
Loss of interest in activities, passions and/or socializing
A feeling of being "under a cloud," as if someone had turned down the lights--colors are literally not as bright
There may be a loss of appetite, or if you have a problem with compulsive eating you may eat more, feeling that food is your only comfort
Little or no desire to exercise, make love or travel
You might sleep too much, or have trouble sleeping at all
Some depressed people will not even get dressed when they don't have to, staying in pajamas or a robe all day
You might sometimes feel anxiety or panic, then sink right back into the depressed feelings
Your thoughts are negative, and it is hard to get yourself to think positively
When you do think positive thoughts, you don't feel anything--the positive thoughts seem like a lie to you
In extreme cases, you may not be able to go to work or even get out of bed

These depression warning signs are often a result of unexpressed anger, bringing us back to the relationship between anger and depression. As you can see, these symptoms of depression are all about not doing things or not wanting to do things. When anger gets expressed and activated, it motivates you to do things!
