Medical Facts About Anxiety You Need To Know

Perspiration Or Shaking

One of the most visible and embarrassing side effects of anxiety disorders is the constant sweating or jitteriness associated with this mental health issue. Anxiety can trigger the release of adrenaline and other 'fight-or-flight' hormones which boost the body's energy levels. While this can be a good thing in truly dangerous situations, anxiety often strikes for reasons other than the need to protect oneself.

That same 'fight-or-flight' response can then lead to shaking and excess perspiration, which can, as a result, create more anxiety over the social stigma associated with these behaviors. While temporary measures can help the perspiration and shaking, affected individuals must address their anxiety directly in order to obtain long-lasting relief from this physical manifestation of anxiety.
