Can Anxiety Cause Diarrhea

When you experience anxiety, your body's "fight or flight" response is activated. This can lead to the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which can speed up the digestive process. As a result, food may pass through your digestive tract more quickly than usual, leading to diarrhea.

  1. Can Anxiety Cause Diarrhea? Understanding the Major Link with Inland Empire Behavioral Group Introduction: Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can manifest in various physical symptoms, including gastrointestinal disturbances like diarrhea. In this informative article, we delve into the relationship between anxiety and diarrhea, uncovering the major link and offering insights from Inland Empire Behavioral Group.

  2. Understanding the Link: Impact of Anxiety on the Body: Anxiety triggers the body's stress response, leading to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can affect the digestive system, leading to symptoms such as stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea. Increased Gut Sensitivity: Individuals with anxiety may experience heightened sensitivity in their gut, known as visceral hypersensitivity. This means that normal digestive processes can be disrupted, leading to bowel irregularities like diarrhea. Dysregulation of Gut-Brain Axis: The gut-brain axis refers to the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. Anxiety can dysregulate this axis, impacting gut function and contributing to gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea.
