Anxiety Messes With Your Danger Radar

Ever notice how a quick burst of anxiety can make everything feel risky—even when you know you’re safe? New research found that even short-lived anxiety can totally mess with your ability to tell safe spaces from dangerous ones. In a VR flower-picking game, people who couldn’t remember where the “stinging bees” were stayed anxious, even in safe zones. Turns out, it’s those temporary freak-outs, not just general anxiety, that really mess with your threat radar. Wild, right? #Anxiety #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #PTSD #BrainScience #Health
