Is chocolate prohibited with someone with anxiety?

Sometimes: Depending on the caffeine content, chocolate can stimulate your nervous system and increase anxiety. Other stimulants can also do this.

No: Chocolate, of course in moderation, is not contraindicated for those with anxiety. In some cases, it can be calming/soothing both from a physiological stance and psychological stance.
