Are you experiencing anxiety? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. A new study out of University of Southampton’s Faculty of Medicine in the United Kingdom has linked midlife anxiety to dementia. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health illness in the US. It has many causes and is often diagnosed alongside depression. Symptoms of anxiety include: excessive worry, headaches, nervousness, fatigue, sweating, hyperventilation, and increased heart rate. It is believed that these symptoms create high stress in the body that over a long period of time, can lead to rapid aging in brain cells. The study suggests that reducing anxiety could lower your risk for dementia. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing excessive anxiety.
