What Causes Stress And Depression?

Ok, this is a weird question but maybe common....
I have depression and stress....I'm on Effexxor XR and sometimes take Clonazepam for stress.....
Anyway, I'm a 36 year old male and after having sex, I get this numbness in my left arm. I did have a heart test done at a hospital because they though I was having a heart attack but it came up clean....
Also I'm not sure if this is with the same problem but I also get pains in the back of my neck that comes and goes....

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anxiety and stress and depression do carries such symptoms. All the pains around neck, shoulder etc are symptoms during anxiety and you should learn to ignore it. Even pain killers and pain management may not be of help here. Only ignorance helps. The best method is to do other interesting tasks which makes us to forget the pain.

Another important thing to note at this point is not to become obsessive about these pains. If you become obsessive about the pain, the pain always troubles you. Just be engaged.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
