A member asked:
What is the neurological basis for anxiety? what happens in the brain of an anxious person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety happens: in the nervous system and biochemically. The sympathetic nervous system speeds psychical things such as blood pressure and heart rate. Stress hormone levels increase. The parasympatheic nervous system does the opposite. It's about balance. See www.relaxationresponse.org Peace and good health.
