Can depression 'evolve' into anxiety?

Posted by cgd092 on March 4, 2007, at 19:13:56

I've noticed that my most recent "episodes" have less from the check list of depression and more from the check list of anxiety. I feel like I've learned so much from my therapist that I've been able to cut down on some classic depression symptoms, but now I have more anxiety symptoms. Can depression ever "evolve" this way? I've heard of it going the other way; that too much anxiety finally gets you depressed. Or is it more that depression and anxiety are really closely related so that each person's set of symptoms will present in a unique way? I'm asking this because I wonder if sometime I might try a lower dose SSRI, and then just a benzo, as needed. I wouldn't want to build tolerance to a benzo, but what if I took them only when I had a "flare up" of anxiety, or panic attack? Anyway, it's something I want to talk to my psychologist about.
