Anxiety disorders related with central and autonomic stress-regulation systems insufficiency. The broad range of anxiety symptoms includes among others signs of neuroendocrinological stress-control faulty. The inherent psychological traits of anxiety are genetically predetermined and can be assigned by the physiological measurements of HRV, QEEG and ERP, which can be used as functional biomarkers in differential diagnostics and prognostics within anxiety disorders. This multidisciplinary review summarizes the current state of knowledge existing within anxiety research and proposes the idea of disturbed coordination between autonomic and central stress-regulation networks as a basis for anxiety disorders development.
