title: Neuroendocrine findings in anxiety disorders.
abstract: 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.
