Anxiety disorders are newly defined syndromes in which inappropriate state anxiety is the sole or primary symptom. Hormonal manifestations of acute stress are usually minimal or absent in these disorders. A number of findings suggest receptor down-regulation or enzyme induction of sorts that would be expected to mute or dampen these responses.
焦虑症是新定义的综合征,其中不适当的状态焦虑是唯一或主要症状。在这些疾病中,急性应激的激素表现通常很轻微或不存在。一些研究结果表明存在某种受体下调或酶诱导,这有望减弱或抑制这些反应。
