that you have STD symptoms?
Anxiety Question:
Can anxiety disorder cause you to think that you might have something like a sexually transmitted disease and even show symptoms of that type of STD?
Anxiety Answer:
Yes, anxiety disorder can cause you to have symptoms of STD.
The history of psychoanalysis is full of cases of people with severe physical symptoms which appear to have no organic cause (i.e. their labs are all negative), and which persist until some psychological movement is attained.
Some people (called hypochondriacs) have this illness their whole life. They become obsessed with every symptom and continually shop for a doctor who will take their illnesses seriously.
