I wasn't able to make out the question/answer part completely. Will it play the same way if I try again?
The doctor mentioned that depression was a syndrome, which I understand to be a constellation of symptoms. Then can anxiety, depression, and the physical symptoms all be the same disorder but with different presentations in each individual?If anxiety is managed in a child, has it been shown to help prevent the occurrence of depression later on? When do you consider treating a child with medication?
How common is it for anxiety to turn into depression and then a somatoform disorder when each is treated?
I didn't really understand the talk about axises. How can chronic stress through abuse affect a teenager in their adult life??
Thank You
Willow
