What are the hormones factors in fear and anxiety?

Fear and anxiety are closely linked to several hormones, primarily adrenaline (epinephrine) and cortisol. Adrenaline is released during acute stress, triggering the "fight or flight" response, while cortisol, a stress hormone, is involved in long-term stress responses and can impact mood and anxiety levels. Additionally, neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine also play a role in regulating fear and anxiety responses. Overall, the interplay of these hormones and neurotransmitters influences how we experience and manage fear and anxiety.
