Is Anxiety Inherited? : Some Ideas On Ways To Decide For Yourself. Use The Internet To Get Many Helpful Informations

Is anxiety inherited, what do you think? For me I don't believe so. I believe some of us are born into a lineage where there is anxiety and panic attacks. However that doesn't indicate that we will have anxiety.

Talking from my individual personal understanding my Mum had anxiety and I'm not a 100% certain but I think my Dad was a pretty nervous man. So yes it was in my family. But I have 4 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 Physician the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, he wasn't sure. As far as he was concerned there was no corroboration either way. So I consider there is no best answer to the question 'is anxiety inherited'?.

I truly think that there's 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 anything entirely different to anxiety?

As kids we could have observed someone 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 afraid, then we might really be frightened, as we looked to them to keep us safe. But we would not 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 am not certain. Although it would be really beneficial often to know where my anxiety originated from. And yes when I was feeling down it may of been quite useful 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 truly frightening. It would of been helpful for me to have the physician say, yes its inherited, at least then I might of least understood my anxiety better.
