Whey protein is a mixture of some of the proteins naturally found in milk. The major proteins found in whey protein include beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin. Whey protein has one of the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores (PDCAAS; a measure of protein bioavailability) and is more rapidly digested than other proteins, such as casein (another milk protein). 1
Alpha-lactalbumin is a whey protein high in the amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to make the neurotransmitter serotonin. A double-blind study found that supplementing the diet with alpha-lactalbumin helped improve scores on a memory test in people who were vulnerable to experiencing problems with stress.2 The researchers speculated that the alpha-lactalbumin raised brain serotonin levels in these subjects, which may have improved their tolerance to stress.
So it seems milk proteins have serotonin raising, and benzodiazepine type activity depending on the milk protein.

It seems Milk Proteins are very interesting anxiolytic compounds.
