Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent of all psychiatric disorders.
Explain the neural bases of anxiety disorders — include the following in your response:
Discuss the neurotransmitters involved in this disorder.  
Discuss the psychopharmaceuticals used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety disorders.
Discuss the brain structures involved in this disorder.
Anxiety disorders are associated with specific neurological mechanisms and involve several neurotransmitters, brain structures, and psychopharmaceuticals.
One of the key neurotransmitters involved in anxiety disorders is gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which inhibits the activity of neurons in the brain and helps to reduce anxiety. Other neurotransmitters that may play a role in anxiety disorders include serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Psychopharmaceuticals used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety disorders include benzodiazepines, which enhance the activity of GABA, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which increase the levels of serotonin in the brain. Other medications that may be used to treat anxiety disorders include tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and beta-blockers.
Several brain structures are involved in anxiety disorders. The amygdala, a pair of small, almond-shaped clusters of neurons near the base of the brain, is thought to be the starting point of anxiety reactions. The prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for interpreting the nature of the threat and orchestrating a behavioral response, also plays a role in anxiety. Other brain areas that may be involved in anxiety include the hippocampus, which is involved in memory and emotion, and the hypothalamus, which regulates the stress response.
Anxiety disorders are complex conditions involving multiple neurotransmitters, brain structures, and psychopharmaceuticals. Further research is needed to fully understand these disorders’ neural bases and develop more effective treatments.
