Executive stress is a very much known entity and can present with symptoms suggestive of anxiety and depression. It can lead to burn out and can also happen because of burn out. The profile is usually of an executive who is working under high pressures of time, achieving targets, does not have time to relax, comes home late, is not able to spend time with the family, is working against time and working even on weekends. Now, what really happens is that in the bid to achieve more - one pushes himself against limits and that leads to concentration lapses, short fuses which in fact consequently lead to errors and issues with maintaining the targets. This leads to increasing frustration, and one pushes oneself more leading to more mistakes which start becoming obvious leading to critical comments and further poor performance. This in fact starts a vicious cycle - a cycle, which leads to problems. The solution can be pretty simple if one is happy to adhere to it. The solution is to take it easy. The best way to take it easy is to take care of the immediate acute problem - in your case it is the anxiety and the depression which would best be treated by short term medications like serta (or whatever the doctor prescribes), and cutting the vicious cycle at some point. This can be achieved by prioritising the day and schedule, and setting limits to what can be done in a day - not over doing it, and spending time with the family, having adequate breaks and engaging in other activities, which one likes, for example music, exercise, etc. It is easy - we just need to do it.
