Does stress and anxiety cause gallbladder problems?
Yes, chronic anxiety, constant psychological stress, or depression may cause an increase in stress hormones: cortisol and adrenaline, which may lead to the formation of gallstones and their inflammation over time.
Poor psychological state, depression, and chronic anxiety also contribute to unhealthy eating habits and low physical activity, leading to high blood cholesterol and increased risk of gallstones.
Psychological stress and chronic stress may reduce the secretion of bile from the gallbladder, leading to its accumulation and increasing the concentration of cholesterol in it, thus increasing the possibility of stone formation.

Does reducing stress cure gallstones?
No, reducing stress will not cure stones, but it will prevent more of them from forming.

Therefore, we always recommend heading to an internal medicine and gastroenterologist if any of the previous psychological symptoms of gallbladder appear to confirm the extent of its connection to stones and cholecystitis.
