Is Anxiety Inherited? : A Few Ideas On The Way To Find Out Yourself. Use The Internet To Get A Few Helpful Informations


Is anxiety inherited, what do you think? For me I don't think so. I believe a few of us are born into a family where there is anxiety and panic attacks. But that doesn't point to that we'll have anxiety.

Speaking from my individual own understanding my Mother had anxiety and I am not a 100% sure but I think my Dad was a quite nervous man. So yes it was in my family. But I've four siblings and not any of them undergo anxiety or panic attacks. I'm additionally a Sagittarius and it seems as if we're susceptible to be anxious people. So this could also be a helping factor.

When I had my first session of anxiety I did ask my Doctor the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, he wasn't certain. As far as he was afraid there is no justification anyway. So I think there's no definitive answer to the question 'is anxiety inherited'?.

I really consider that there's no such thing as an anxiety gene within us. I do think that we can pick up 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 may have observed anyone near to us having an anxiety attack and not truly realized what was going on. But what we would of picked up, was the fear they where feeling. And if it was a close relative who was acting fearful, then we might really be frightened, as we looked to them to keep us protected. But we would not of realized 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 sure. Although it could be really beneficial at times to know where my anxiety originated from. And yes when I was feeling down it may of been quite 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 actually frightening. It would of been useful for me to have the doctor say, yes its inherited, at least then I might of least realized my anxiety better.
