The Dynamics of Anxiety & Depression
          Anxiety and Depression are "Holistic" with respect to our body and soul – mental, emotional, physical, biological, psychological, physiological, relational, situational, and spiritual. Consequently, these conditions or illnesses should be treated Holistically as such. Each individual's journey through anxiety and depression is unique, therefore, may require treatment across various areas of the treatment spectrum, not singularly focused in on one particular area of the holistic makeup.
