As a branch of medicine, psychiatry has developed in close connection with the fields of science in which the various philosophical conceptions have found wide resonance. The onset of depression is usually in young people and affects women more than men. The frequency of depression increases significantly with age. One in four women will receive treatment for depression at some point compared to one in ten men. We can consider that anxiety is a close link between the functions of biology and philosophy, the body and the mind, the sense of conservation and healthy thinking, and personality and education. While it is felt on a psychic level, it can be weighed scientifically, both quantitatively and qualitatively, at the molecular and physiological levels.
