What part of the brain causes anxiety and depression?

It's believed that two parts of the brain are responsible for anxiety and depression: the amygdala and the hippocampus. The dorsomedial thalamus may be involved in depression. It's not really known what causes anxiety or depression, but there may be a predisposition for anxiety or depression that runs in families and is triggered by trauma or negative life circumstances.

In the late fall season, depression becomes more common. It's also common for anxiety and depression to exacerbate each other, and symptoms can be quite severe. It's definitely important to seek professional care if you suspect you or a loved one may be dealing with one issue or the other, or both.

What Is an Addiction?

When someone has an addiction, they have a chronic disorder in which they're blinded by a substance or engaged in an activity that gives them a great deal of pleasure at the cost of their overall health and their everyday life. A compulsive behavior or an addiction may give a person a temporary sense of confidence, control, or validation, or another feeling they're lacking in life, but this feeling is only temporary, the compulsive/addictive behavior is detrimental, and the behavior is difficult to stop unless the underlying problem a person has is addressed. Often, an underlying problem is a mental health problem like depression or possibly an environmental problem like poverty.

Some of the more common addictions people have include:

- Substance abuse (excessive drug or alcohol use).
- Internet or gaming addiction.
- Gambling addiction.
- Addiction to food.

What is telepsychiatry?

Telepsychiatry, also referred to as teletherapy, is mental health care and related services provided from a distance using technology, as opposed to in-person.
