Most Common Triggers of Anxiety

Health Problems

A health diagnosis which is difficult or upsetting, such as a chronic illness or cancer, might cause anxiety and worsen its symptoms. This form of cause can be very powerful due to the personal and immediate feelings it triggers. The best way to alleviate anxiety and its associated symptoms triggered by health problems is to be proactive and talk with your doctor on a regular basis. It is also helpful to talk with a professional therapist as they would help you learn how to manage emotions and feelings around the diagnosis. [2]
