What Are The Causes of Anxiety?

Anxiety is a common disorder, which many people suffer with on a daily basis. This is why many people are searching for an answer, and asking their doctors or specialists for advice as to the causes of anxiety and possible treatments.

Unfortunately, as with most chronic conditions, there is no one specific cause of anxiety.  There are however, many influencing factors which can develop into unique anxiety symptoms, all varying in severity and different in every individual patient.

Recently some medical experts have been looking to the body rather than the mind for an explanation to what causes anxiety. Candida, one of the eighty poisonous toxins created by the body is said to possibly be an undiscovered and easily treatable cause for anxiety.

Through many tests and studies these medical detectives found that Candida can interfere with the body’s hormones, such as adrenaline and can cause feelings of extreme fear, compulsion and panic. Candida survives in the body by producing toxic substances which can be provided by refined carbohydrates and sugars in the digestive system.

One of the most harmful substances is acetaldehyde, which is most commonly found in the body’s systems following the consumption of alcohol, and causes the fatigue, nausea and depression associated with a “hangover”. Issues surrounding an unhealthy level of Candida are hard to diagnose, resulting in futile psychiatric treatment.

The most common belief surrounding the causes of anxiety is the imbalance between the brains neurotransmitters nor-epinephrine and the body’s production of serotonin.

Supporters of this theory believe that when the body and brain produce more nor-epinephrine than serotonin the individual will not experience any natural calming emotions and will be overwhelmed with a surge of adrenalin. This imbalance in the body and brain results in feelings of extreme fear and crisis.

Some other causes of anxiety can be linked to the use of recreational drugs and alcohol. However, even some everyday substances such as caffeine, cold remedies, decongestants and some brands of asthma medications can all cause feelings of unease and anxiety.

If you or someone you know is searching for the causes of anxiety and its symptoms, speak to your doctor. Treatment may be easier than you thought and life may take a turn for the better.
