No, you'd say "bothered by" but "concerned with."

(Worried about, bothered by, concerned with, connected to)

So what's the difference between "connected with" and "connected to"? thx

You're right, "connected" can take either.

A is connected to B would tend to mean a physical connection.
A is connected with B would tend to mean an association of some sort.
