• Your brain is getting overstimulated
  • Does movement and lights cause anxiety?
  • Unhealthy brain = MORE depression
  • More solutions to fix pain.

Feeling anxious in crowds can be a sign that your brain is inflamed. When your brain is unstable, it struggles to process all the sights, sounds, and movements around you — leading to anxiety or panic attacks.

Brain inflammation can be triggered by many factors, including poor diet, chronic stress, infections, toxins, and gut issues. These create an overload on your nervous system, making it difficult to stay calm in stimulating environments.

The key is to identify and address the root cause of your brain inflammation. Functional medicine approaches — such as improving gut health, balancing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function — can help restore stability and calm.
