A member asked:
Can too much caffeine produce anxiety and depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Too much caffeine at one time can introduce a variety of symptoms including increased anxiety and changes in mood. I would consider decreasing your exposure to caffeine to see if that helps although you may have to do it incrementally due to the effects of caffeine withdrawal if you were to stop completely.
