Muscle twitching caused by anxiety disorder can be treated with medications and other methods. The main manifestation of anxiety disorder is autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which affects various organs controlled by the autonomic nerves. If you have anxiety disorder, muscle pain and twitching should be treated with medications as prescribed by a doctor; aromatic medications may also be used. It is recommended to massage the muscles regularly and perform muscle relaxation exercises to help relieve symptoms. For anxiety disorder, psychotherapy is considered the best treatment approach.
