>>But you probably had underlying depression.
>How do you know?
Well if anxiety was the reason for the issues that lead to using Paxil, then depression was likely present. Anxiety and depression go hand in hand. Often times anxiety is a manifestation of depression and is used as a coping mechanism, yes, I said coping mechanism. If you study psychology enough, and have enough conversations wtih experienced psychologists, you begin to realize some amount of underlying depression/sadness is very very common amongst all people. Thing is, we just have ways of suppressing it and distracting ourselves enough not to ever really really feel the depth of it.
