This is fascinating and in particular this article called out EBV infection and the link to anxiety. I developed a rough EBV infection in college and a few years later I developed generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. At this point they're mostly under control with lifestyle changes however that they call out this link is really enlightening. I hope that more research looks into this sort of thing and makes these connections because it seems like it could be a huge benefit to folks. It feels like a lot of the interventions with mental health tend to be a bit of a sledge hammer generalist approach so looking at the root causes of the "why" I think could power a much more holistic view of things.
