Depression: Depression can be dangerous. Having thoughts of death and suicide are symptoms of depression. Another way some people try to cope with depression is by self-injuring or inflicting pain upon themselves with methods like cutting or burning. When people are feeling hopeless, angry or really bad about themselves, they are less likely to take care of themselves and think about the consequences of their actions. Depressed individuals may put themselves in risky situations, with potentially dangerous consequences. This is why I would be more anxious about depression.
