ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE:
1. Physical:-
Caffeine in coffee and other caffeinated drinks can
affect gastrointestinal motility and gastric acid
secretions. In postmenopausal women, high caffeine
consumption can accelerate bone loss.
2. Psychological:-
Minor undesired symptoms from caffeine ingestion
not sufficiently severe to warrant a psychiatric
diagnosis are common and include mild anxiety,
jitteriness, insomnia increased sleep latency, and
reduced coordination. Caffeine can have negative
effects on anxiety disorders. At high doses, typically
greater than 300 mg, caffeine can both cause and
worsen anxiety. For some people, discontinuing
caffeine use can significantly reduce anxiety.

3. Reinforcement disorders:-
Whether caffeine can result in addictive disorder
depends on how addiction is defined. Compulsive
caffeine consumption under any circumstances has
not been observed, and caffeine is therefore not
generally considered addictive. However, some
diagnostic models, such as the ICDM-9 and ICD-10,
include a classification of caffeine addiction under
broader diagnostic model. Some state that certain
users can become addicted and therefore unable to
decrease use even though they know there are
negative health effects.
