Wellness Corner- Anxiety and Depression Guide

Anxiety and depressive disorders can develop at any age and are often thought of as being caused by an interaction between someone’s genes and their environment. Over the past few years, incidence of these conditions more than doubled with 20% experiencing anxiety and 25% experiencing depression. Youth of various marginalized identities (LGBTQ, ethnicity, race, immigrants, etc.) are disproportionately impacted. The intersection of these identities may also bring systemic injustice that can lead to mental health challenges. Anxiety and depression frequently occur together and can be accompanied by behavior challenges, learning differences, social challenges, academic difficulties, conflict with family and friends, changes in sleeping and eating, difficulty concentrating and more.
