Understanding depression and anxiety
Depression and anxiety are among the most common reasons people consult a psychiatrist, and they frequently occur together. Depression typically involves persistent low mood, loss of interest in daily activities, low energy, and changes in sleep or appetite lasting more than two weeks. Anxiety disorders involve excessive worry, restlessness, or physical symptoms like a racing heart or difficulty breathing, often disproportionate to the actual situation. Both are medical conditions that a psychiatrist can diagnose and treat, distinct from everyday stress that resolves on its own.

Depression, anxiety disorders, and stress & burnout are among Dr. Shaba’s core areas of practice, alongside related conditions such as sleep disorders and mood disorders that often accompany them. His broader experience across bipolar disorder and other mood conditions is relevant for distinguishing depression from other conditions that can present similarly but require different treatment approaches.
