Can a slimming diet cause severe anxiety? im feeling that my brain is working and doesn't want to stop!

Depends: Depends on what you are taking/eating as well as how quickly you are losing weight. Overly rapid weight loss can lead to liberation of toxins stored in fat, and may make one feel sick. Some diet supplements are not exactly safe and can do bad things to you.

Depends on diet: This is hard to answer as i don't know what "slimming" diet you are on. Does the diet involve prescription appetite suppressants? These can sometimes cause a sense of restlessness and anxiety.
