ELI5: I've heard that people with anxiety disorders take comfort from the sensation of pressure: hugs, having someone sit in their lap or lay on/with them, and being tightly wrapped in a blanket in order to sleep soundly. Why is this?

Because you read an article that oversimplifies things, possibly. 

First, there are many anxiety disorders, with different causes and different treatments, and not every treatment will work for any specific case. For some cases, in fact, being wrapped in a blanket may well *trigger* an anxiety attack! 

In generalised, simplistic terms, though, all the things you described are ones that would make *most* people feel comfortable, secure or loved. Is it any wonder that this may provide relief for someone suffering from anxiety?
