Anxiety and depression connected?

Question

When I’m depressed I get really bad tremors, is that normal? Are anxiety and depression connected or is a weird side effect? Help me if you can, please.

Answer

Yes! There have been tons of studies proving they are connected. In the newest DSM (the thing psychologists use to diagnose you properly) they are so connected that the APA considered lumping them into the same chapter. Unfortunately for most people with depression (be it major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder) within a few years about 1/3 will be diagnosed with anxiety as well. 
I struggle with both, and have since I was like 9. It sucks because you find yourself stuck in patterns of maladaptive thoughts and worry about anything and everything as well. 
If you find yourself overthinking everything, keeping yourself up thinking at night, or having times where everything feels a bit too much I’d recommend going to see a psychiatrist. I know it isn’t always easy to go or to have the money, insurance, etc. to go but it’s completely worth it. Getting proper medication and/or treatment can make a world of difference for you! 
I wish you the absolute best and hope that you find someone/something to help you further!
