But these worries quickly pass and you get on with your life.<\/p>\n<p>Sufferers of anxiety however often see the world at its worst, worrying about things that haven&#8217;t and possibly won&#8217;t ever happen. <strong>It is both a debilitating and incapacitating illness.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anxiety is a common disorder, affecting as many as 18% of adults in the US according to statistics from the <em>National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)<\/em>\u00a0[1].<\/p>\n<p>It is often associated with poor concentration, sleep quality and difficulty completing day-to-day tasks. You feel tense, fearful or depressed for what seems like no reason. You may experience panic attacks at any moment &#8211; and that in itself can lead to a perpetual cycle of worry.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms vary from person to person but typically involve:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chest pains and palpitations<\/li>\n<li>Shortness of breath or feelings of being smothered<\/li>\n<li>Nausea or stomach discomfort<\/li>\n<li>Sweating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Causes Anxiety?<\/h2>\n<p>As a disorder, anxiety is <strong>multi-factorial. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This means that it can be caused by genetics, brain biochemistry, life experiences and individual personality traits. Or a mixture of all of them.<\/p>\n<p>GAD is thought to be dysfunction of the nervous system, in particular your <em>somatic nervous system<\/em>. People with anxiety often show heightened activity in a specific part of the brain called the <strong>amygdala<\/strong> &#8211; a region of the brain that controls emotions, survival instinct and memory.<\/p>\n<p>Although scientists aren&#8217;t certain, many think that because the amygdala is firing on all cylinders in GAD sufferers, it is perceiving there to be a threat when there isn&#8217;t [2].<\/p>\n<p><em>The result?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Feelings of anxiety.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Anxiety-disorder.jpg\" alt=\"Young man suffering from anxiety sat looking out of a window\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Anxiety-disorder.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Anxiety-disorder-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Anxiety-disorder-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Anxiety-disorder-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"group infobox infobox-blue mtop20 mbottom20\">\n<p><strong>Key Point:<\/strong> Anxiety is a disorder characterized by feelings of panic, worry and irrational fear. Although the causes are numerous, it is caused by fluctuations in nervous system activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Are Testosterone Levels Linked to Anxiety?<\/h2>\n<p>Testosterone is well known as the primary male sex hormone. And having testosterone levels that fall into the normal, healthy category means your body functions efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll burst with energy, find it easier to add slabs of muscle when you lift weights and your cardio endurance is at the top of its game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And testosterone has long been thought to have an impact on your mental health too,\u00a0<\/strong>because your hormones also help to regulate your mood, emotional state and motivation too.<\/p>\n<p>But as you age your T levels begin to drop &#8211; by around 1% each year after the age of 30. By 40-50 years old you&#8217;ll begin to go through what&#8217;s called the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/andropause-symptoms-treatment\/\">andropause<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; androgen deficiency caused by the progressive decrease in circulating sex hormones.<\/p>\n<h3>Low testosterone might be related to anxiety<\/h3>\n<p>Clinically low testosterone &#8211; or <em><strong>hypogonadism<\/strong> <\/em>&#8211; occurs as your T levels drop below the 300 ng.dL threshold.<\/p>\n<p>And when T drops you find that a number of side effects occur. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An increase in belly fat and a loss of muscle<\/li>\n<li>Decreased libido and sexual appetite<\/li>\n<li>Erectile dysfunction and infertility<\/li>\n<li>Reduced bone mass<\/li>\n<li>Thinning hair<\/li>\n<li>Poor sleep, low mood and loss of energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A study published in\u00a0<em>Pharmacotherapy\u00a0<\/em>[3] \u00a0found that andropausal men who suffered with low testosterone were much more likely to suffer from mental health issues as well. These included\u00a0<strong>memory loss, reduced cognitive function, irritability and anxiety.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The study also suggested that these symptoms could be reversed as T levels increased to normal threshold.<\/p>\n<p>These results were echoed in a study of men over 50 years old [4]. The article &#8211; published through the French version of the\u00a0<em>Annals of Endocrinology &#8211;\u00a0<\/em>also reported that <strong>men with low T were more likely to report feelings of anxiety.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Could anxiety just be a result of ageing, not low T?<\/h3>\n<p>That&#8217;s definitely a reasonable argument, and some researchers have even suggested that that could be the case.<\/p>\n<p>But even in younger men, low testosterone has been seen to result in feelings of anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>One study measured T levels in young boys in order to see any relationship between sex hormone levels and anxiety [5].<\/p>\n<p>The team found that for boys as young as 13 years old, <strong>lower levels of testosterone and testosterone levels that decreased more slowly across the day were related to higher levels of anxiety-depression<\/strong> and attention problems.<\/p>\n<p>This often resulted in mood swings and behaviour problems too.<\/p>\n<h3>It&#8217;s the same for both men and women<\/h3>\n<p>A large cohort study conducted in the Netherlands was concerned that some medications for depression were associated with sexual side effects [6]. They wanted to therefore see if salivary testosterone was related to generalized anxiety in either men or women.<\/p>\n<p>They recruited over 700 men and 1,300 women for the study, each with a history of depression and anxiety, but at varying severity.<\/p>\n<p>Testosterone levels were lower in smokers, those on oral contraception, and those who had been diagnosed with either depressive disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia or generalized anxiety.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Heart-rate-monitor.jpg\" alt=\"Athletic young runner wearing a heart rate monitor smiling on the beach\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Heart-rate-monitor.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Heart-rate-monitor-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Heart-rate-monitor-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Heart-rate-monitor-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"group infobox infobox-blue mtop20 mbottom20\">\n<p><strong>Key Point:<\/strong> Low testosterone levels are associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety and other similar mental health disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Anxiety is a debilitating illness characterized by fear, worry and feelings of unease.<\/p>\n<p>Although the causes could be multi-factorial, research shows that low testosterone is closely related to generalized anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to do all you can to manage your testosterone levels in order to improve mental health status and lead a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>TestoFuel<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.testofuel.com\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">TestoFuel<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is an all-natural testosterone-boosting supplement designed specifically to turbocharge your hormones and take you from fat builder to bodybuilder.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Greater strength and muscle mass<\/li>\n<li>Improved stamina and endurance<\/li>\n<li>Higher libido and more energy<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced mood and motivation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an anabolic support complex, <strong>TestoFuel<\/strong> contains ingredients found to elevate T levels in the most robust studies &#8211; <em><strong>D-aspartic acid, oyster extract<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>vitamin D3.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Boost your productivity, energy and mood and find the missing link with <strong>TestoFuel\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; the top rated testosterone booster on the market.<\/p>\n<hr \/><div class=\"group\"><div class=\"m1c1 _1c2\"><img class=\"mtop0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/themes\/testofuel-wp-theme\/assets\/img\/cta-banners\/five-reasons.jpg\" alt=\"5 Reasons to Use Testofuel\" \/><\/div><div class=\"m1c1 _1c2\"><ol class=\"orange-reasons mtop0\"><li><div class=\"reason-line1\"><\/div><span class=\"orange-text bold s-text\">Real Muscle Growth<\/span><br \/>Naturally and safely increase your testosterone level, which is essential for real muscle growth.<\/li><li><div class=\"reason-line2\"><\/div><span class=\"orange-text bold s-text\">Increase Strength<\/span><br \/>Increase muscle size and strength without resorting to countless feeble supplements.<\/li><li><div class=\"reason-line3\"><\/div><span class=\"orange-text bold s-text\">Reduce Bodyfat<\/span><br \/>Can help to reduce bodyfat, including on your stomach<\/li><li><div class=\"reason-line4\"><\/div><span class=\"orange-text bold s-text\">Improve your Mood<\/span><br \/>Testosterone is known to improve mood, so it's easier to stay motivated and on track towards your goals.<\/li><li><div class=\"reason-line5\"><\/div><span class=\"orange-text bold s-text\">Increase Libido<\/span><br \/>Revitalise your sex drive, which is a great side effect.<\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cta-buy-link\"><a class=\"order-now red pathway\" href=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/order-now.html\">ORDER NOW<\/a><\/div><hr \/>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).\u00a0https:\/\/www.nimh.nih.gov\/health\/statistics\/prevalence\/any-anxiety-disorder-among-adults.shtml<\/li>\n<li>Keeton, CP et al.\u00a0<em>Pediatric generalized anxiety disorder: epidemiology, diagnosis, and management.\u00a0<\/em>Paediatr Drugs. 2009. 11(3): 171-83<\/li>\n<li>Lund, BC et al.\u00a0<em>Testosterone and Andropause: The Feasibility of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Elderly Men.\u00a0<\/em>Pharmacotherapy. 1999; 19(8): 951-956<\/li>\n<li>Delhez, M et al.\u00a0<em>Testosterone and depression in men aged over 50 years.
