Does generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety effect your aggression?

what im mainly asking is can Generalized anxiety disorder/social anxiety make you less aggressive to people in a physical way, because it is drawing attention to you and doesnt generalized anxiety disorder make you think MORE?

Jason, not quite sure what you are trying to get at, but some people with GAD and SAD can suffer from frustration which at times may bring out aggressive tendencies, while at the same time its more common to find a person who has GAD and SAD to be basically shy and non-assertive in interactions with others.

GAD makes you WORRY more, which is not the same thing as thinking more. Many of your thoughts (until you learn to counter and change them) are catastrophic or wrong thoughts, even paranoid to some degree.

The good news is GAD and SAD respond well to treatment either with Cognitve Therapy or a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and medications.

well i have social anxiety, and based on what the person before me said, its sounds like i also have generalised anxiety disorder as well. i find it hard to express my opinion in front of people in case somebody disagrees and challenges me on it. i also dont challenge people on their opinions if i have a differing one in case a fight begins. so i guess for me it makes me less aggressive towards people, but it might be different for someone else
