Contrapoint, research shows that coffee seems to act as a fairly effective antidepressant[1].

It can be a good antidepressant, but definitely won't help anxiety. I've recently quit coffee as well and it's done wonders for my anxiety.

This abstract says that depression risk decreased by ~8%, but I still think this is an amazing finding.

I also wish I was scientifically literate enough to understand how good the study is :P

Coffee + L-Theanine = Balance

Out of curiosity did you switch to decaf or just no coffee at all? I could never tell if it was coffee specifically or just caffeine in general which heightened my anxiety.

I switched to decaf, and I have much less anxiety, but also much less energy... It's definitely the caffeine.

I kinda detoxed on coffe because my activity level went down and I didn't even notice it. Just realised I didn't drink coffee at home anymore...
