How does inositol work in regards to reducing anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not an approved treatment, only a supplement, sometimes called vitamin B8. It affects chemical messengers in your brain, such as serotonin and dopamine, which could probably explain its effectiveness in alleviating anxiety.
