depression and anxiety may just be as bad for one's health as smoking and obesity. Anxiety and depression have serious impact in one's physical health "anxiety and depression similar to smoking ".due to the statistic population prove of the medicalist their is a prove that 16% had high level of anxiety and depression, 31% had obesity and 14% were smokers. Those living with high level of anxiety and depression were 65% more likely to develop a heart condition, 64% more likely to have a stroke, 50% more likely to develop high blood pressure and 87% more likely to have arthritis than people who did not have anxiety and depression. Of all conditions scientists found that cancer was the only disease that did not correlate with anxiety and depression .anxiety and depression symptoms are strongly linked to poor physical health, yet these conditions continue to receive limited attention in primary care setting compare to smoking and obesity
