Anxiety is the feeling of nervousness, fear, extreme worrying and dread.

Depression is a serious medical condition that adversely affects the individual's thinking and feeling.

Supporting a person suffering from anxiety and depression can be difficult. Here are some that can be done to aid the patient:

1. Be attentive. Interact with the patient as much as needed to make him feel less alone and more supported.

2. Let the patient stay in a place he is most comfortable in.

3. Encourage the patient to seek medical help and support.

4. Ensure the patient is following medical advice and/or prescription.

5. Take note of how to contact suicide prevention hotline.
