Is Anxiety Inherited? : A Few Ideas On Ways To Find Out Yourself. Use The Web To Get Many 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 family where there is anxiety and panic attacks. However that does not indicate that we'll have anxiety.

Talking from my individual personal realizing my Mother had anxiety and I'm not a 100% certain but I think my Father was a pretty nervous guy. So yes it was in my family. But I've 4 siblings and not any of them undergo anxiety or panic attacks. I'm also a Sagittarius and it sounds as if we're susceptible to be anxious people. So this may also be a helping factor.

When I had my first session of anxiety I did ask my Physician the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, he wasn't convinced. So far as he was concerned there was no corroboration anyway. So I think there's no ultimate answer to the question 'is anxiety inherited'?.

I really consider that there is no such thing as an anxiety gene within us. I do consider that we can pick up on the behaviours of those closest to us when we're growing up. So I feel we can have learnt behaviour. Which is something fully different to anxiety?

As kids we may have observed anyone near to us having an anxiety attack and not really realized what was going on. But what we would of picked up, was the fright they where feeling. And if it was a close relative who was acting fearful, then we might actually be frightened, as we looked to them to keep us safe. But we wouldn't of realized there fear.

So there may be an argument for anxiety being a learnt behavior, but as for the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, I'm not sure. Although it would be truly useful often to know where my anxiety originated from. And yes when I was feeling down it may of been quite useful to have anyone to blame and be angry with. But again that's just part of the process, well it was for me. The not knowing or understanding was truly frightening. It would of been useful for me to have the physician say, yes its inherited, at least then I might of least understood my anxiety better.
