When we count the initial letter in STRESS, ANXIETY, and DEPRESSION, we get the term “SAD.” That implies that these three words are associated with a terrible, low, or unpleasant mental state. We see SUICIDE of a celebrity, a prominent figure, a student, or just a common man making the HEADLINES every time we turn on the TV or open the newspaper.
The term “SAD” (STRESS, ANXIETY, and DEPRESSION) has a negative connotation. This suggests that something really important is being overlooked. This needs to be addressed. STRESS, ANXIETY, and DEPRESSION are all terms that are used interchangeably, but are they the same thing? NO!!
STRESS, ANXIETY, and DEPRESSION are three separate mental states that are interconnected and can occur together. An excessive amount of STRESS might lead to ANXIETY. A person who is exposed to ANXIETY for an extended period of time will develop a NEGATIVE / SAD mindset. That is the definition of DEPRESSION. It’s like a never-ending circle.
