The medicinal properties of resveratrol have garnered increasing attention from researchers. Extensive data have been accumulated on its use in treating cardiovascular diseases, immune system disorders, cancer, neurological diseases, and behavioral disorders. The protective mechanisms of resveratrol, particularly in anxiety-related stress disorders, have been well documented. However, less attention has been given to the side effects of resveratrol. This review explores not only the mechanisms underlying the anxiolytic effects of resveratrol but also the mechanisms that may lead to increased anxiety following resveratrol treatment. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for enhancing the efficacy of resveratrol in managing anxiety disorders associated with stress and PTSD.
