Adjustment disorders
Adjustment Disorder is a state of mixed emotions such as depression and anxiety which occurs as a reaction to major life events or when having to face major life changes such as illness or relationship breakdown. Source: Royal College of Psychiatrists
Mild-moderate depression and anxiety
The main symptoms of depression are losing pleasure in things that were once enjoyable and losing interest in other people and usual activities. A person with depression may also commonly experience some of the following: feeling tearful, irritable or tired most of the time, changes in appetite, and problems with sleep, concentration and memory. People with depression typically have lots of negative thoughts and feelings of guilt and worthlessness. Sometimes people with depression harm themselves, have thoughts about suicide, or may even attempt suicide.
Mild depression is when a person has a small number of symptoms that have a limited effect on their daily life. Moderate depression is when a person has more symptoms that can make their daily life much more difficult than usual.
Mild anxiety is experienced as feelings of being overwhelmed by responsibilities and unable to cope. People with depression may have feelings of anxiety as well. Source: NICE27, Best Beginnings
