Abstract

Anxiety is the major mental health related problem; it affects the life style of millions of people around the world. Flavonoids are polyphenols found in many plant families and obtained from various plant parts. Consumption of plant parts known to be rich in flavonoids has been reported to result in anti-anxiety effect. In addition to the anxiolytic effect, flavonoids were shown to prevent neuro-degeneration. In this work, we review the potential anxiolytic properties of naturally occurring flavonoids
