Anxiogenic Effects

Meaning

Anxiogenic effects are physiological or psychological responses that induce or exacerbate symptoms of anxiety, often manifesting as heightened nervousness, restlessness, apprehension, or panic. In the context of hormonal health, these effects can be triggered by fluctuations or imbalances in neuroendocrine substances, including specific hormones or their synthetic analogues. Clinically, identifying anxiogenic effects is crucial for tailoring treatment and mitigating adverse impacts on a patient’s mental well-being and quality of life. Understanding the root cause, whether pharmacological or endogenous, directs appropriate therapeutic interventions.
