A member asked:
Is chronic anxiety caused by a lack of serotonin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause or Treatment: What is effective in the treatment of many medical conditions may not link directly to the cause. The cause of anxiety is probably not a simple as a lack of serotonin, even though things that seem to boost serotonin are helpful for many forms of anxiety.
