Will neurotransmitters recover on their own?

For various reasons, many people experience neurotransmitter disorders. Generally speaking, patients with neurotransmitter disorders can recover on their own if their neurological function is good. But you should also pay attention to proper rest, a reasonable diet and exercise. But for some patients, neurotransmitter disruptions require medication to restore function. So, what causes neurotransmitter disorder?

Neurotransmitter disorders in the brain are the culprit for anxiety disorders

Although external stimuli, including psychological factors, are the cause of some anxiety disorders, in essence, the disorder of certain neurotransmitters in the brain is the culprit of anxiety disorders. Therefore, anxiety disorder is a biological disease, not just a psychological disease. Specifically, there are three main types of neurotransmitters that are prone to disorders.

1. Norepinephrine

In the ancient jungle era, our ancestors were always in danger of hunger, cold and attacks by wild beasts. In order to survive in this cruel environment, humans needed to be vigilant at all times. In order to adapt to this need, humans gradually produced a substance called norepinephrine in their bodies during the process of evolution, which accelerates heartbeat, increases blood pressure, dilates pupils, and puts the whole body in a state of "defense", "preparing to counterattack" or "escape". This state played a positive role in human survival at that time. However, when people are in a safe environment without pressure or danger, if norepinephrine is still secreted too much, they will be in a state of tension and anxiety for a long time, thus generating anxiety.

2.5-HT

When the serotonin receptors in the brain are stimulated by serotonin, their number increases, thereby suppressing the tension generated in the brain. On the contrary, when the number of these receptors decreases, the inhibitory effect on nervous emotions will weaken, causing the brain to be constantly in a state of tension and anxiety.

3. GABA

Our brain is like a machine that runs all the time, producing emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and resentment, making our life colorful. However, if this "machine" runs too fast, the brain will become overexcited and prone to collapse, just like a car that runs too long in the hot summer and the engine is overloaded and may spontaneously combust.

But the brain is much more advanced than any machine. It has a "self-protection device". Once it realizes that it is in an overly excited state, it will automatically secrete some inhibitory substances, mainly gamma-aminobutyric acid, to restore the brain to a calm and relaxed state. However, if for some reason the concentration of GABA in the brain decreases, this "self-protection device" will become ineffective, causing the brain to feel anxious due to being in a state of tension and anxiety for a long time.

It can be seen from this that deacetylase. Excessive secretion of adrenaline, weakened inhibitory effect of serotonin on tension, and reduced gamma-aminobutyric acid are the three main culprits that cause anxiety disorders. Understanding this will be of great help in treating anxiety disorders.
