Medicine

As I've mentioned earlier, I wonder if doctors in the biological field have found ways to solve or minimize insecurities/fears.

I came upon this article:
Fendt, M., Bürki, H., Imobersteg, S., Lingenhöhl, K., McAllister, K. H., Orain, D., & ... Chaperon, F. (2009). Fear-reducing effects of intra-amygdala neuropeptide Y infusion in animal models of conditioned fear: an NPY Y1 receptor independent effect. Psychopharmacology, 206(2), 291-301. doi:10.1007/s00213-009-1610-8

This article explains an experiment to see if Intra-amygdala Neuropeptide injection works in hopes to reduce fear. Because fear is controlled in the amygdala, scientists wanted to see if the infusion will "affect the expression of conditioned fear." The results presents that it does effectively "decrease the expression of conditioned fear measured by conditioned freezing and fear-potentiated startle."

This experiment is reasonable because if a person has a fear, his/her amygdala has a decrease or increase in neurotransmitters, so the neuropeptide should maintain homeostasis and this experiment showed that it did. This experiment shows that fears are developed (and can be solved/diminished) biologically and psychologically.

Another article I found was that according to Coupland, R. (2007). Security, insecurity and health. Bulletin Of The World Health Organization, 85(3), 181-184. ...

In order to have stable health (mentally and physically), one must have security. The article then goes on to say that the government should be persuaded to make new policies to enhance people's security.

Of course insecurity is crucial for one's health, I just overlooked that fact and found a scholarly article to broaden my knowledge on insecurity. Granted, this article is more about armed violence than inner insecurity; however, it brought up a good point. Education and the change of new policies can help society learn and apply decreased fear and insecurity.
