Mysterious: Essential tremors are a big mystery, but it is often true that anxiety will make it worse. The good thing is that psychotherapy can help with the anxiety. Drug treatment may help too, but the side effects can make tremors worse, so be careful. I know that the tremors can be very troubling and very hard to treat. There is some hypnosis techniques that might help. Good luck.
