Can anxiety/depression cause a person to develop or be more suceptible to developing raynaud's disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Emotional stress is a known trigger of raynaud's phenomenon. A person with raynaud's symptoms should try to avoid emotional stress (or get some treatment from his doctor), keep warm, not smoke or use other forms of nicotine, avoid caffeine, etc...
