A member asked:

Can anxiety and depression being on genital herpes outbreaks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is possible: If your question is, will a genital herpes outbreak cause anxiety or depression. If that is the question, you may be apprehensive ; therefore it certainly could be a cause of anxiety/depression. A psychiatrist would best be able to target the root of anxiety/depression. If your question is, can anxiety/depression bring on an outbreak, it's unlikely but possible, due to a weakened immune system.
