Decode Your Itchy Throat: Seasonal Shift or Symptom of Something More?

The Psychological Spectrum: Anxiety & Stress

Surprisingly, psychological factors like stress and anxiety can also lead to an itchy throat. When you're under stress, your body tends to react in various ways. Some people manifest symptoms physically and one such manifestation can be an itchy throat.

Also known as "psychogenic itching", this reactive itching can occur without any physical cause and can intensify during periods of heightened stress. Therapy, lifestyle adjustments, or medications may be necessitated to address this.
