A member asked:
I was wondering what does neurotransmitters have to do with stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress responses: In response to stress, the body releases many physiologically active chemicals, including neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and epinephrine. This goes along with the well-known "fight, flight, or freeze" response. If your body could not respond in this way, you would die.
