Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Do you think someone that is depressed can express emotions of fear? If they are at the last stage of depression where they would die at any cost would they still have fear of spiders or heights?? They want to die nothing would really matter at that point.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, they can express emotions of fear. Fear of spider or heights can co-occur with depression and it may even worsen with worsening of depressive symptoms.
