th words. Many words have similar meanings and sometimes it is unclear in diagnosing a patient whether or not they are filled with anxiety, or depression, or both.
             To show the relationship between anxiety and depression, an example will be utilized. To explain, it may be agreed upon that shyness may give rise to depression directly (Romney & Bynner, 1997). Bruch and Pearl (1995 as cited in Romney et al., 1997) discovered that a primary attributional factor associated with shyness was the respondents' perceived lack of controllability of events when social interaction occurs. Further, Leary (1990 as cited in Romney et al., 1997) contends that people weigh potential rewards and costs concerning behavioral options and contemplate the likelihood that such options will occur. It sounds rather complex but much goes on in the unconscious. Thus, the bargaining is not usually something that the patient is aware of.
             In this example, the potential costs of interaction may include not only social failure and rejection, but subjective consequences like anxiety (Romney & Bynner, 1997). Authors suggest that adding the word depression to anxiety provides an explanation as to what can happen to people who believe that others have a low opinion of them (1997). They say that these people perceive that others are likely to ignore or reject them (1997). Such individuals may experience social anxiety, which often presents as shyness, and depression (1997).One can see how the two are inextricable. The results of certain cognitive functions leads to two different forms of behavior and type of thought but are similarly and complimentary. In other words, it is probably likely that when looking at anxiety and depression that both will be found in the same person. In other words, it may be rare to find one without the other. Is this because the two disorders go hand in hand, or might it be that they are on!
