Elevated Anxiety Levels in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Evidence from a Prospective Case-Control Study
This study highlights the strong association of anxiety with CSCR compared to healthy controls. Anxiety alters the internal hormonal milieu, leading to excess endogenous steroid secretion that contributes to the occurrence of CSCR. Addressing anxiety and encouraging lifestyle modifications in patients with CSCR can be a potential avenue to manage these cases.
