TREATMENT OF SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDERS USING BRAIN HORMONES

CSIC and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche have developed a treatment for social disorders, such as anxiety, extreme introversion or avoidant personality disorder, that is based on the use of brain hormones that have been detected to regulate behavioral responses related with socialization.

Industrial partners from the pharmaceutical industry are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement for the development of treatments based on this technology.
