When I get my TRIPLE SHOT DECAF ICED MOCHA, WITH EXTRA CHOCOLATE, WITH NON FAT MILK! MY ANXIETY IS GONE, and I FEEL HAPPIER!

You seem to be the exception that confirms the rule

But you're cheating, it's decaf!

Maybe all the chocolate you add cheers you up. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which improves your mood.

I agree; I think it's the chocolate! My only true addiction....yum...

Coffee contains chemicals, we yet dont know about! Maybe they enhance own neurons some how!

I heard that coffee can lift mood. So it's a little bit helpful to depression. But usually it will make anxieties worse. But I always think depression can accompany anxieties, although sometimes anxieties only have little bit depression, or no depression. So from my point of view I think a person who is easy to be anxious should avoid coffee & chocolate. Anyways, decaf is OK.
