A member asked:
If as a hshp study suggests, coffee reduces suicides because it works on same neurotransmitters as anti-depressants, why does it make anxiety worse?

Caffeine: Coffee contains caffeine, a psychostimulant which is also an addictive substance. In both children and adults, it can cause nervousness, agitation, restlessness, anxiety, irritability, delirium, depression, sleep disturbances, impaired attention, and panic attacks. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20164571 and http://tinyurl.Com/kweqoe6.

Anxiety: It is the amount of caffeine that is the crtical factor. A few cups of coffee has many benefits, excess caffeine frays the nervous system and causes jittery feelings. Try to limit your consumption to no more than three cups per day. Best wishes.
