Men with anxiety are more vulnerable to cancer, study says

Men over 40 who are plagued with the omnipresent of generalized anxiety disorder are more than twice as likely to die of cancer than are men who do not have the mental affliction, new research finds. But for women who suffer from severe anxiety, the research found no increased risk of cancer death.

    Imperial College Psychiatrist David Nutt, who was not involved in the new research, said the intense distress suffered by those with anxiety comes with insomnia and widespread physical stress.

    “That is bound to have a major impact on many physiological processes, including immune supervision of cancerous cells,” said Dr. Nutt, a former president of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology.
