Best Answer

Refers to the over-reaction to symptoms exhibited by people who are suffering a panic attack (ie; thinking they're having a heart attack) and the subsequent increase in anxiety levels.

Note: Positive feedback is actually an electrical term meaning "feedback that results in the amplification or growth of the output signal." In terms of anxiety, this means the feedback (the symptoms) amplifies (worrying unnecessarily about symptoms) the output signal (increased anxiety).

Is the ADH feedback loop an example of positive or negative feedback?

The ADH feedback loop is an example of a negative feedback loop. Negative feedback loops occur when the output of a system acts to oppose the changes to the input of the system. This is the case with ADH because when there is not enough water, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland work to release ADH so that the body can retain more water.
