Dr. Marcie Berman answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

It is part of: The picture in depression and adjustment problems with anxious features. But everyone is different. Many people's anxiety worsens before bed. You may want to think about what you are looking toward in the morning that makes you anxious . You could be dealing with a specific trigger.
