I will be drawing on the information from up-to-date scientific literature on anxiety and anxiety disorders that I've encountered during my educational career, in addition to APA and BPS-sponsored content on anxiety and anxiety disoders. Here is a list of the articles (We we will not go through each of these sources. These have just informed my knowledge of the neuroscience of anxiety.)
