Anxiety and depression are mental disorders. they happen to those people who once tried very hard to have a control over their mind or tothose who went through traumatic periods of their life. in both these cases, mind has become stronger than past. understanding that the mind has gained strength is to be done. Please understand anxiety is part of body's defense mechanism. Psychotherapy, Cognitive Restructuring and life style changes should be of immense help to you.
