Is Anxiety Inherited? : Some Ideas On Ways To Find Out Yourself. Use The Internet To Get Some Helpful Informations

Is anxiety inherited, what do you think? For me I do not believe so. I believe some of us are born into a lineage where there's anxiety and panic attacks. But that does not indicate that we will have anxiety.

Talking from my individual own realizing my Mum had anxiety and I am not a 100% certain but I think my Dad was a pretty nervous man. So yes it was in my family. But I've 4 siblings and not any of them suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. I'm also a Sagittarius and it sounds as if we are susceptible to be anxious people. So this may also be a contributing factor.

When I had my first session of anxiety I did ask my Doctor the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, he was not convinced. As far as he was afraid there is no justification either way. So I think there's no best answer to the question 'is anxiety inherited'?.

I truly think that there is no such thing as an anxiety gene within us. I do consider that we can get on the behaviours of those closest to us when we are growing up. So I feel we can have learnt behaviour. Which is something completely dissimilar to anxiety?

As children we could have seen someone near to us having an anxiety attack and not truly realized what was happening. But what we would of picked up, was the fear they where feeling. And if it was a close relative who was acting afraid, then we might actually be terrified, as we looked to them to keep us secure. But we would not of understood there fear.

So there may be an issue for anxiety being a learnt behavior, but as for the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, I am not certain. Although it would be really advantageous at times to know where my anxiety came from. And yes when I was feeling down it may of been fairly helpful to have someone to blame and be angry with. But again that's only part of the process, well it was for me. The not knowing or understanding was really frightening. It would of been helpful for me to have the doctor say, yes its inherited, at least then I might of least understood my anxiety better.
