A new ally in the war against shyness.
Woody Allen, Norah Jones and Benicio del Toro are among the celebrities that suffer from it, but the list is long. Internet grows, computers are faster and chips are increasingly smaller, but human beings still blush as they always did. A nervous state that for those who suffer is an ordeal. Marcel Proust and the Albert Einstein also had it too.
Scientists from the United States, Europe and Australia announce the end of shyness. They are researching how to market the hormone oxytocin, which could be the answer against physical reactions of nerves and anxiety. Since announcing the nasal spray that can be inhaled half-hour before going on stage, give a test or have an appointment. Some try to overcome it with therapy, and specific technical courses. But take a spray of oxytocin in the pocket could be a resource savior. And a healthy alternative to alcohol.
Oxytocin is a hormone that is released in orgasm during childbirth and lactation. Serves on neurotransmitters that cause behaviors sedative declining irritability and stress. “It’s a neurohormone manufactured in the nervous system, as any hormone that has two functions. On the one hand controls hormonal aspects of the body and on the other hand acts on the conduct, “said Jaime Moguilevsky, endocrinologist and dean of the graduate of the Favaloro Foundation. “Oxytocin in particular may increase the concentration of serotonin, which allows regulate social stress.”
One of the main promoters of the antishy spray is Paul Zak, professor of Neuroscience at Claremont Graduate University, California. In his recent research tested the effects of the hormone in their patients. “The examinations showed that oxytocin reduces levels of anxiety. And best is that it is a very safe product and does not cause addiction, “said Zak. Clinical trials demonstrated that also would calm the phobias and panic attacks. The most optimistic say that it could become the “wonder drug” for reducing symptoms of a wide range of personality disorders such as autism and depression. At the University of Zurich in Switzerland implementing the hormone improved the symptoms of extreme shyness in 120 patients. The spray also was successful in trials at the University of New South Wales in Australia.
Today, there are other hormones that are used as a spray. The problem is that they all have side effects. If someone give oxytocin for a long time could bring uterine contractions.
Ashamed but Ok
Not everyone agrees with the problem o fshyness or eliminate their physical manifestations. “It is a shame that feeling emerging that has to do with the self-assessment of the individual. I think it’s important not to hide or suppress the demonstrations without looking. To realize that all this is manifested in a particular situation, “said the degree in psychology Mirta Fill. According to specialists, shyness comes from a “Me” who feels more weak or vulnerable in social situations. It is a nervous state intimately connected with the self, with the eyes and gaze of another one about himself. “The first step to balance the state would just be pay attention to these demonstrations. Looking brings an awareness of them.
It would be the opposite to consume a hormone to prevent it. I think this is not combat but to integrate, ” concluded Fill.
