10 Hyperhidrosis Symptoms
Symptom #4: Social Anxiety
Social anxiety may be a symptom of hyperhidrosis in people who undergo excessive sweating. This happens because people with the condition know that their wet palms, face and scalp, and their sweat-drenched clothes are noticeable by those they come into contact with.
This knowledge and the comments that may come from their acquaintances about their condition cause them to develop excessive self-consciousness. In some cases, the anxiety may get so bad that it develops into depression. As a consequence, people with hyperhidrosis limit their social interactions to a minimum, which can adversely affect their quality of life.
