Dr. Scherwitz explains how women can decrease their feelings of anxiety and depression.

Dr. Scherwitz:
Women should know that they have the ability to decrease anxiety and depression. Both anxiety and depression are trying to tell us something, so when one person is anxious listen to what the message is and see if you can hear it and if it’s not reasonable, talk back to it. If it is something that’s generating anxiety from what your self-talk is, see if you can affirm something positive and look at it in a different way or have help from someone else to help you see it in a different way.

Depression is something that’s telling you to stop and listen and what’s going on in your life that is causing this, and what can you do about it, so it’s a way to stop you. Both depression and anxiety are like a sense, a sixth sense, if we listen to them and respond to them, that’s what they are for and they can help us.
