As a form of focus disfunctionalites.

When I take my prescribed anxiolitics, what I note is that the focus in the imminent threat disappears and I can try and get some focus to the tasks at hands.

Only a shame that most (if not all) anxiolytics dumbs you a lot to be safely used at work, for example, and can only be taken PRN.

SSRIs dont help, at least not to solve the root of the issue to me. They may make the negative scenarios disappear but then I just overwhelm at any task and cant focus anyways, but with a "mental void" if that makes sense.

Is like a mental void where the negative thoughts once abunded. Feels nicer as doesnt provoke anxiety sympthoms, but it is still crippling or debilitating to handle present tasks, like at work or on a social situation..

That kinda makes things worst tbh , as there is no coping mechanism to a mental void vs coping mechanism to well known recurring threats.

I know doctors already acknowledges that anxiety and depression are correlated, but (not a doctor, my view as an unfortunate anxious patient that seems not curable and from friends with depression experiences), but instead of being correlated by a "lack of serotonin in the brain", IME it seems that they are both a focus problem.

Only difference is that the anxious are hyperfocused on future imaginary tragedies and the depressive are hyperfocused on subjective (sometimes imaginary / overblown) negative situations on the present or past experiences or traumas.

Both unable to focus when untreated and with many overlaying sympthoms like distraction, poor performance at job, being seen as 'lazy' by other people...

Interestingly similar to many of the complaints that an AHDH patient would describe when complaining about their poor performance at work and functional issues

There is people diagnosed with both, anxiety or depressive disorders and AHDH, but treated always as separate entities.

What if they're actually all part of the same disfunction on the neural networks or any other brain mechanism in charge of the focus function on the brain? And the distintion between the three entities in actuality might be an spectrum of disorders falling all under the same umbrella of focusing / attention divergence on the brain?
