10 Fibromyalgia Symptoms In Women
Symptom #9: Anxiety and Depression
While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life such as facing issues at work or having to make an important decision, anxiety disorders can lead to disruption and have a negative impact on school, work, and relationships. Anxiety disorder symptoms include irritability, restlessness, feeling on edge, muscle tension, sleep issues, difficulty controlling feeling worried, heart palpitations, tachycardia, and trembling.
Depression is also a normal part of life, especially when something bad happens. However, depression as a disorder occurs when an individual persistently feels low (mood) and experiences symptoms such as tiredness, excessive guilt, anhedonia, feelings of hopelessness, restlessness, and irritability. Patients with fibromyalgia have been reported to experience both anxiety and depression.
