It has a lot to do with it..

You should google it....

The thyroid is the most important gland in the body, it controls the function of every cell/organ in the body.. Its main function the control of metabolism..
Whe the thyroid hormone is out of function it can cause sever anxiety....

It might not be the cause of your anxiety but then again it might..

What type of anxiety do you have??

get your doc. to run bloods for thyroid, it cant hurt!
