How Can Trembling Of Hands Be Treated, Which Gets Severe With Anxiety?

My otherwise healthy 28 year old son has problems with his hands and arms shaking or trembling. He has has this since he was a young kid. Trembling may become more severe when he is under pressure such as a job interview. A result of this is that he is unemployed as I am sure he shakes too much when interviewed. Is there something that can be done? Mike Kopp

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It seems your son is suffering from severe anxiety which is leading to the symptoms he is having.

It is a psychological disorder and needs proper counseling and assessment by a psychiatrist.

He will be needed to be put on antiplatelets anxiety medicines which will help him to function normally and will gradually help him to overcome his anxiety.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
