How do you know if are mad or suffering from depression?

Here are some key differences between anger and depression:

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. It is usually triggered by a specific event or situation, and it typically resolves fairly quickly. Anger can be expressed in a variety of ways, including verbally, physically, or through thoughts and fantasies.

Depression, on the other hand, is a mental illness that affects a person's mood, thoughts, and behavior. It is not simply a case of feeling sad or down, but rather a persistent and debilitating condition that can interfere with a person's ability to function in everyday life. Depression may be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors.

Some key symptoms of anger:

- Irritability

- Feeling like you want to lash out or explode

- Increased heart rate and blood pressure

- Sweating

- clenched fists

- Pacing

- Headaches

Some key symptoms of depression:

- Loss of interest in activities that you used to enjoy

- Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping

If you are experiencing symptoms of anger or depression, it is important to seek professional help. A therapist can help you to identify the root of your emotions and develop strategies for managing them.
