Anxiety Origin Insight
- Anxiety often stems from internal physiological causes, not external events.
- It typically involves fear of unlikely future events that may never happen.
Test for MTHFR Mutation
- If you suffer lifelong on/off anxiety, get tested for MTHFR gene mutation.
- This mutation hinders converting vitamins into usable forms, causing deficiencies.
Brain's Perception vs Reality
- The brain can't always distinguish perception from reality, triggering fear responses without real threats.
- Anxiety can produce fear-like symptoms even when actual danger is absent.
