Anxiety and unhealthy eating habits are often deeply intertwined, creating a harmful feedback loop. The cycle begins when anxiety triggers emotional eating, where individuals use food to cope with stress, leading to overeating or poor nutrition. These eating patterns can worsen anxiety symptoms, resulting in a cycle that’s difficult to break without targeted support.

Anxiety and Eating Habits

• Emotional eating as a way to manage overwhelming feelings

• Cravings for “comfort foods”, often high in sugar and fat and leading to worsened long-term mental health

• Disrupted eating patterns, such as skipping meals or overeating
