Anxiety Disorder
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Does HIV cause anxiety disorder? Or does it influence it?

I, from my own experience. Have developed major anxiety disorder aftet my diagnosis. Ive been in a mental unit 2 times now. The biological affects dont really cause it in that way. Having hiv, the stigma, the isolated numb feeling you suffer silently inside. Its a life long disease currently with no cure. Id be shocked if you didnt develope any anxiety. Thankfully with groups like this,
And proper therapy and maybe medication. You are not alone.

This is not medical advice. Yes to both. Check with a medical professional. I am still seeing a counselor every other week. I know that therapy is very important to me.
