A member asked:
Can vagal tone be effected by depression and anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yup: Easy answer is yes ... The vagus nerve responds to many changes in homeostasis. In fact, increased vagal tone has been used for quite a few years as an indicator for treatment success with psychopharmacological agents and cognitive therapies. Hope that helps!
