Can stress and anxiety cause dark circles around the eyes ?
11 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Yes...: Stress has been listed as a cause of dark circles under the eyes. Try to get some help, exercise, eat better, drink more water, and see if they improve. Other causes are allergies, family trait, nasal congestion, sun exposure, and exposure to certain drugs. See an ophthalmologist and see if they can help.
