data available for for straining Should short duration anxiety episodes  taken into consideration
when diagnosing anxiety disorder Diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorder should be provided

that anxiety is not related to constipation Authors tried various manipulations to uncover such a
relationship Thus at least some doubts are mandatory At least in the title
