Is it true that energy drinks cause anxiety?
Unclear. Multiple reviews and surveys associate energy drink or high caffeine consumption with anxiety, but the findings are hedged, often limited to excessive intake, high caffeine doses, or specific populations such as students and prenatally exposed infants, and no item establishes a general causal claim.
