Can Anxiety Lead to Weaking of the Immune System? Posted: 12-06-07 20:50pm


Hello, Except for the usual symptoms associated with anxiety, I`ve also experienced a "breakdown" of my immune system. Frequent bacterial infections, UTI , sinusitis, kidney infection, severe back pains? Can constant untreated anxiety be the cause for all of them?

Would not surprise me in the least. Don't take much for your immue system to break down. Ask you doctor to be sure OK.
