I've read that anxious people die younger and im so scared...im 33 and had gad for 2 years would this affect me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety and health: Yes, some studies show that anxiety (and depression) can be associated with earlier death. http://tinyurl.com/ceob7uf this study showed that compared to happy people, those with low levels of psychological distress were 23% more likely to die from accidents or injuries and 25% more likely to die from heart disease, strokes, or heart failure. Only high distress levels correlated with cancer.
