To truly understand anxiety, we must venture into the depths of our biology. Anxiety, at its core, is a natural response to perceived threats, an evolutionary mechanism designed to protect us from harm. When faced with danger, our bodies release a surge of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline, triggering a cascade of physiological changes that prepare us for fight or flight.

However, in many cases, anxiety can become excessive or persistent, even in the absence of an immediate threat. This is where the brain's杏仁核(amygdala),海马体(hippocampus),and前额皮质(prefrontal cortex) come into play. The amygdala, often referred to as the "fear center" of the brain, plays a crucial role in detecting potential threats. The hippocampus, on the other hand, is involved in memory and emotion regulation, influencing how we interpret and respond to situations.

When the amygdala perceives a threat, it triggers a rapid response, sending signals to the hypothalamus, which in turn activates the sympathetic nervous system, releasing stress hormones. Simultaneously, the hippocampus attempts to assess the situation and provide context, while the prefrontal cortex, the rational part of our brain, evaluates the threat and tries to control the emotional response.
