Location, location, location.It matters less what the neurotransmitter is and more what the circuit is.
Just a thought:
Adding a SSRI to the system in the amygdala might simply be shaking things up such that a new equilibrium is forced. This would explain the "paradoxical" anxiety that sometimes occurs early in treatment. Compensatory adjustments are induced that result in neuronal dynamics that more approximate those of a healthy brain. This could explain why the same SRI drug can treat both depressive disorders and anxiety disorders. Brain function is no longer seen as a matter of global neurotransmitter "levels".
The more data that neuroscientists collect, the less they understand.
Science Daily is an excellent website.

I like Science Daily, too. Love to surf there.
I've read this about social phobia, too. Maybe that's why an ssri etc hasn't helped jack sh*t with my social phobia even though I've been prescribed them over and over while being told they would. Made me feel more desperate than I already was :(
