A member asked:
Can my hormones be causing my anxiety?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: There are three major stress hormones, including adrenaline, cortisol, and norepinephrine, produced under periods of stress. You will likely feel more anxious as a result. Female-specific hormones, such as estrogen, have also been linked to stress (http://www.Webmd.Com/depression/news/20031203/estrogen-is-involved-in-stress-response), in that estrogen amplifies the experience of stress.

Anxiety: I would suggest you check with your physician to see if there may be any physical causes for your anxiety. If everything is ok you can seek the help of a psychologist to help you.
