How Can Anxiety And Depression Be Treated?
My daughter is 26, diagnosed with anxiety issues & depression. She has serious time management issues as well as sleep issues - causing her to be late ...a lot. She has never been diagnosed with ADD although she was evaluated around age 12. Do these issues sound like she could have ADD & how do we check & get help.

Hi,
Thank for consulting with us.
1. Anxiety in fear of unknown origin. This causes somebody to be fearful and unsettled all the time with lack of sleep lack of appetite and may lead to depression This is may be due to the external environment like loss of job work or sad news from the family or work.
2. Depression is being in low mood and lack of self esteem. You need to consult an psychiatrist for assessment, diagnosis and follow up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mutuma Geoffrey Zambezi
