Does caffeine increase anxiety or not?

caffeina

Caffeine is a stimulant substance and, as such, in addition to keeping you more alert, improving concentration and physical and intellectual performance, it can promote increased anxiety in people who suffer from or are predisposed to it. But there is no need to despair, because it is also a matter of dosage, and 1-2 cups of coffee a day do not contain enough caffeine to be harmful, unless there is a pronounced individual sensitivity to its action. On the other hand, it is good to know that caffeine is not only contained in coffee, but also in other beverages, dietary supplements and some medications. A few pointers from the experts to avoid problems.
