Wow, thats a strange study!

The problem is that in the case of an anxiety disorder sufferer, their Amygdala has already been affected. Prevention of inappropriate anxiety won't be possible outside of a controlled test.

So, the question would be whether this could be used whilst undertaking exposure exercises so that they are exposed to stimuli that would make them anxious and by preventing a negative reaction and boosting a positive mood it would mean a reprogramming over time of the Amygdala.

WOw that is pretty nifty. Not sure if I should go out now and switch over to this organic "treatment" or not lol.

All joking aside, that is very interesting.

Is it not mushroom season soon? I remember seeing shifty looking teens combing fields near to where I used to live - clearly they weren't out simply to enjoy the great outdoors!

Did they look anxious before they found them and chilled out afterwards? :D
