Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent psychological issues worldwide, displaying the youngest age of onset and greatest chronicity of any mood or substance abuse disorder. Given the high social and economic cost imposed by these disorders, developing effective treatments is of the utmost importance. Anxiety disorders manifest in a variety of symptomatic phenotypes and are highly comorbid with other psychological diseases such as depression. These facts have made unraveling the complex underlying neural circuity an ever-present challenge for researchers. We offer a brief review on the neuroanatomy of anxiety disorders and discuss several currently available therapeutic options.
焦虑症是全球最普遍的心理问题之一,在所有情绪或物质滥用障碍中发病年龄最小且病程最长。鉴于这些疾病带来的高昂社会和经济成本,开发有效的治疗方法至关重要。焦虑症表现为多种症状表型,并且与抑郁症等其他心理疾病高度共病。这些事实使得揭示复杂的潜在神经回路成为研究人员一直面临的挑战。我们简要综述了焦虑症的神经解剖学,并讨论了几种目前可用的治疗选择。
