“Can being overweight cause anxiety?”
I am 39 year old male. Ever since I gained 40 pounds I have become very anxious. Can being overweight cause anxiety?

As far as I know, there is no direct causal relationship of being overweight in causing anxiety. However, if one gets engaged in obsessively overthinking about his or her weight could become anxious. This kind of anxiety can usually be treated by cognitive behavioral therapy.
Yes, unfortunately, you eat, you stress, meaning every time you get anxious, you start eating to comfort yourself.
