Does anxiety cause weight loss?

Whether anxiety will lead to weight loss needs to be judged based on the actual situation.

If the patient is mildly anxious, he or she can actively regulate bad emotions, communicate more with family and friends, and seek professional and systematic psychotherapy, which generally will not cause weight loss. However, if the patient is severe and does not receive timely treatment, it may affect digestion, and may also cause symptoms of loss of appetite and anorexia, which may lead to weight loss.

If the patient's condition is serious, buspirone, sertraline, paroxetine and other drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor if necessary.
