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 think so. I believe some of us are born into a lineage where there is anxiety and panic attacks. However that does not point to that we'll have anxiety.
Speaking from my individual own understanding my Mum had anxiety and I'm not a 100% sure 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 additionally a Sagittarius and it seems as if we are prone to be anxious people. So this could also be a contributing factor.
When I had my first session of anxiety I did ask my Physician the question 'is anxiety inherited'?, he was not certain. As far as he was concerned there was no corroboration anyway. So I consider there's no definitive answer to the question 'is anxiety inherited'?.
I really think that there's no such thing as an anxiety gene within us. I do think that we can get on the behaviours of those closest to us when we're growing up. So I feel we can have learnt behaviour. Which is something completely dissimilar to anxiety?
As kids we might have seen someone near to us having an anxiety attack and not really understood 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'd really be frightened, as we looked to them to keep us protected. 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 certain. Although it would be really useful at times to know where my anxiety originated from. And yes when I was feeling down it may of been rather useful to have someone to blame and be angry with. But again that's only part of the course, well it was for me. The not knowing or understanding was actually 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.
