A member asked:
How accurate is it that left handed people are more affected by depression and anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost certainly not: Being left handed is a result of slightly different brain area functioning and connections. These can make some skills easier or more difficult and learning to do things in a right handed world can actually improve flexibility. But there is really no reason to think handedness is directly a cause of emotional problems. Superstitious people have feared lefties over time - calling it "sinister".
