Of course. The symptons of anxiety result in restlessness, and nervousness, eventually resulting in withdrawl symptoms, leading to depression and lack of motivation and energy to do anything.

Anxiety can certainly cause depression. When you feel out of control and somewhat panicked, you start to wonder what's wrong with you. Those type of thoughts can open a whirlwind of emotions because you're not in control of your own body.

Yes, sometimes anxiety becomes a trait and when you worry and feel nervous you think no one is there to help or no one understands you, so you exclude yourself from social activity. You can also start to feel alone and that nobody cares, which leads to depression.

In my experience, my anxiety actually turns into depression when I'm experiencing extreme anxiety for too long. I sort of think of it as a cup. All of my feelings are supposed to fit in the cup, but my anxiety is an ice-cube that is taking up room so I don't have so much space for normal emotions. And thus, I overflow, which is my depression. That's just me, though.

Absolutely. Having anxiety and not having the proper treatment can cause depression. When someone has anxiety it can consume their day-to-day life and prevent them for working, sleeping, eating, socializing, etc.

Yes, anxiety can cause one to be depressed. There have been such examples of anxiety leading to depression. One issue with anxiety is indecisiveness. Imagine a scenario where one has been invited to a small gathering in a public place, the anxiety can cause one to not want to go as of the fear of social interaction and judgement. If one does then refuse such a invite after the event has happened and one has not participated there can be a feeling of sadness. One begins to feel lonely and unloved which can lead into a depressed mindset.

From my experience, anxiety can lead to feelings of depression. Anxiety can become overwhelming and seemingly out of control. Anxious thoughts can spin into depressing thoughts, leaving one feeling depressed.
