It is alarming how many people appear to be on antidepressants. Dr Mercola has investigated the causes of this and his findings are that high levels of Serotonin are the culprit.
Anxiety and Identifying the Causes
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) drugs work by making more serotonin available for use in your brain, which is thought to improve your mood
- Low serotonin has been the prevailing theory for explaining social anxiety, hence SSRIs are typically prescribed for this disorder
- New research shows patients with social phobia produce too much serotonin in the amygdala—a brain region associated with primitive emotions like fear. Hence increasing serotonin increases anxiety
