Description

Anxiety is a psychological state which comprised with different factors like somatic, emotional, cognitive, behavoiural factors etc. These type of factors leads unpleasent feeling that typically associated with fear, worry and uneasiness. Anxiety disorders are classified as a diverse group of neuropsychiatric condition, among them generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, selective mutism, specific phobia and agoraphobia are the most common. More than one-eighth of the global population suffer from this disorder at some stages during their life. The beginning of the most anxiety disorders arise in the course of childhood, adolescence or preteens. Anxiety disorders, if left untreated, can lead to a variety of other chronic conditions.

In the two most widely accepted systems for helping to describe symptoms of anxiety, the dsm-5 and icd-10, a person with chronic or debilitating anxiety may have extreme worries or generalized anxiety may be diagnosed with worry and (the latter ones mentioned in the dsm-5 and icd-10) Furthermore, when Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) were developed together in people that can be considered under the DSM.

Anatomical, endocrine, as well as well as neural and neurotransmitter impairments both characterize anxiety disorders. The high degree of interrelation between the cuicuits of neurotransmitter and neuropeptide in the limbic or upper cortical brain regions makes it difficult to identify the functionally significant variations. The limbic cortex has a very ancient lineage within the cortex phylogeny. It consists of the insular and cingulate cortex. The limbic cortex processes knowledge about the internal bodily condition and incorporates visual, affective and cognitive aspects of pain. The hippocampus would be another limbic structure that has a tonic inhibitory effect on the hypothalamic stress-response system and acts in the Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) axis' negative feedback area. Hippocampal volume and neurogenesis have been related to stress response and fortitude in the context of mood and anxiety disorders. The amygdala, an evolutionarily ancient organ, translates emotionally salient information through bodily movements and starts a useful answer. Amygdala is involved in the development and retrieval of emotional and anxiety-related memories, as well as the expression of terror and hostility, as well as species specific defensive behaviour. The amygdala's Central Nucleus (CeA) is tightly linked to cortical areas, including the limbic cortex. The hippocampus, thalamus and hypothalamus all provide data. Neurotransmitters that have interaction between parts of the brain should be considered in relation to the activity of each brain region. Reduced inhibitory signalling by Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) or increased excitatory neurotransmission by glutamate can cause increased activity in emotion processing area of the brain in anxiety disorders related patients. The anxiolytic and antidepressant properties of different drugs that mainly target monoaminergic transmission system, Norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT), and Dopamine (DA) have been involved throughout the pathogenesis of mood and anxiety disorders. Genes whose products regulate monoaminergic signalling have become a hot subject of study in the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders.

Conclusion

These neurotransmitter packages into vesicles by oxytocin, vasopressin, transmitter specific reuptake, neurotonin transporter and Vesicular Monoamine Transporter (VMAT). On the other hand the 5-HT, DA, and anandamide are degrades by the enzyme monoamine oxidase. Typical neurotransmitters are frequently packaged and released with neuropeptides, all of which are communicated in limbic area of the CNS that may impair stress and emotion circuitry. Galanin, Cholecystokinin (CCK), Vasopressin (AVP), Neuropeptide Y (NPY), oxytocin, and Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF) are only a few of the neuropeptides that have been linked to psychopathology. CCK is present in the gastrointestinal system and the vagus nerve, as well as in many limbic areas.
