Short answer NO: If stress is a factor, which tends to enhance the tremors, then try stress relieving methods. Otherwise medications are often effective though not always.

No: See movement specialist. Essential tremor that severe can benefit from primodone or propanalol and use of weighted spoons, fork and knives and weighted wrist cuffs. Good luck.

I know that a Kinetic/intention tremor can be made worse by stress & anxiety but can stress & anxiety directly cause a intention/kinetic tremor? I'm not talking about an essential tremor. Thanks :)
