Serotonin hormone is responsible About the feeling of luxury and happiness It works by moving between Neuron and another in the brain via a difference called "synapses" Any unused Serotonin returns to the original neuron by a special carrier But those with certain anxiety disorders like OCD It has been suggested that a mutation in these vectors multiply the amount of Serotonin returned Before it gets to the receiving neuron This results in a decrease in the amount of the difference, "Synapse", leading to the effect of the feelings This was the reason for using drugs such as SSRIs In these anxiety states, Serotonin is prevented from returning to the original Neuron Also, many anxiety diseases show an excessive reaction in the amygdala and the gray area "periaqueductal gray area".
