Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety Disorder

Why do I feel the need to be constantly wanted and desired? I mean I have anxiety and major depression but I've always just felt the need to be wanted in anyway, mostly from the opposite sex... Help me figure this out please? Is it the other mental issues or something else?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Abraham Maslow places affiliation needs as third requirement or need in his NEED HIERARCHY THEORY. You said you have anxiety and major depressive disorders. You did not mention your age and you did not mention marital status, socio-economic condition etc. More information needed to ascertain your cause. But I can assure you, yearning for affiliation is not a mental disorder. Rather it is a need, essential. Introspect your past and you get your answer.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
