Dr. Mike Dadson Identifies 5 Core Causes of Anxiety and Depression

The first is a low sense of self-worth and self-esteem; or a belief that one’s worth or value isn’t high. In therapy, the goal is to address both the belief, thinking, and the feeling of worthlessness or sadness, or even self-hatred, which can be the driving points of depression or anxiety in a person.
The second issue is relationship conflicts, whether its couples’, siblings, father son relationships or even friends, where the inability to manage their day-to-day relationships can be a fundamental source of anxiety and depression.
Trauma resulting from unresolved grief, such as unfinished business or the loss of a loved one, can evoke feelings where there is anxiety of avoidance; of trying to go back in time to revisit the past; or depression manifesting in the form of anger at one’s self- which acts to distract them from the grief that has not been resolved.
Relationship adjustments and transitions can create roadblocks to growth and change. Feeling caught and frozen in different directions can be an underlying cause of both anxiety and depression. It is hard to think outside the box when we are stuck in the box. Hearing an outside voice helps you see yourself and your situation and can provide you with perspective and empowerment to move through the change.
While depression and anxiety have a physiological basis, doctors are prescribing medication to try and heal them. Many doctors are recommending therapy in lieu of or as a supplement to medication so consider asking your doctor if they think counseling might be right for you.
