Social Anxiety Disorder – Causes & Symptoms

Imbalance of Neurotransmitters

Social anxiety disorder might be caused by the imbalance of several neurotransmitters in the brain. These substances are responsible for transmitting signals between different cells. There are four neurotransmitters involved in this condition, including GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. This trigger is quite similar to that in those people with panic disorder and agoraphobia. While it can be difficult for us to understand the exact cause of this problem, it is necessary to understand how they work to decide the best treatment plan. [8]
