These figures are staggering and the Anxiety-Depression co-morbidity is causing serious problems both in the community and at the workplace. From a philosophical standpoint we understand that anxiety cannot be eliminated from our existence and as one kind of anxiety is assuaged, another one will surface however its incapacitating aspect can be controlled after a specific kind of attitude to life is embraced.  In these days of economic belt-tightening, manpower trimming, business disruptions, threat of redundancies and overall employment uncertainties,  people remain enslaved to their job, excessively stretch themselves  and plough through as their sense of well-being, financial sustenance  and identity seems to be locked with the job. This is bound to create high stress and hypervigilance. The driven lot, attempt to mask their anxiety and intensify their toil. A few others are unable to manage it and over time lose hope and plunge into despair or even depression.
