yes, at the core all types of anxiety have an autonomic arousal component of the nervous system. There are overt physiologically-driven types that cause sweating, racing heartbeats, tingling at times in extremities, etc, but then there are more existential types of anxities, ruminations, and worries that also have a neurophysiological component but seem less overt in the 'showing" of somatic symptoms. Both types of anxities have a mental health center to them for they cause what we call a 'secondary anxiety response" that is more psychological yet powerful on the mind/brain----that is, causing worrying about the worry/anxiety. This is really the hardest part of management and linked ultimately to one's sense of success in treating it.
