> How do you know this? Has a doctor told you this information? Or is this just your "opinion" of what happens to you based upon reading alternative medicine books? Alcohol worsens both anxiety and depression thru depressing the central nervous system. It has nothing to do with diet or blood sugar. Alcohol, thru its CNS depressant qualities, just makes ALL mental illnesses worse...much worse.
>That is true, but one cant exclude too low blood sugar level as a cause for anxiety and panic atttacks.
Read "MSD Medical Manual" chapter hypoglycemia. Thats not a book about alternative medicine. It mentions anxiety as one symptom of too low blood sugar level.
