A Charles Sturt University (CSU) study of the links between anxiety and depression in adults needs volunteers to participate in the Australian-wide research. The participants, who must be aged between 18 and 65 years and can live anywhere in Australia, will be required to complete a survey. Ms Nicole Brown, who is a CSU honours psychology student and a registered psychologist working in western NSW, aims to identify the role of factors such as stressful life events, thinking style and problem solving on anxiety and depression. Adults who have experienced anxiety and depression can complete the anonymous questionnaire in less than one hour and return it by mail. “The findings of this research can assist tens of thousands of Australians every year by guiding treatment of anxiety and depression that occur at the same time, or even help in prevention,” said Ms Brown. Anxiety and depression often occur together - a third of adults with anxiety are also believed to experience depression and up to 50 per cent of adults with depression have anxiety problems.
