Anxiety & Depression

Dementia patients often experience worry, hopelessness, and apathy. The reason they are called psychological conditions is that they may affect an individual's emotional and mental well-being. The definition of anxiety is a mental state that goes beyond simple worry or concern. Anxious feelings are a normal response to pressure, and they usually go away when the "stressor" or the stressful situation is no longer present. The self-esteem of an individual is affected by depression. It's possible for someone to lose interest in their job, hobbies, and other pursuits they usually find enjoyable. While some people may find it difficult to focus because they are anxious or angry, others may simply be fatigued, have trouble falling asleep, or sleep more than they should.
