Is it true....

Is it true that antidepressants/medication works quicker on depression than anxiety symptoms?? I have both illnesses and when I speak to psych/Gp etc they all tell me that the medication will work on depression in the first instance then it will start working on anxiety.....

everyone is different so no definite answer. Some anti-depressants can increase anxiety feelings on start up so maybe this was what your Dr was talking about. But again, this does not happen for everyone
