Is Anxiety Inherited? : Some Ideas On Methods To Decide For Yourself. Use The Web To Get A Few 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 family where there's anxiety and panic attacks. However that doesn't point to that we'll have anxiety.
Speaking from my individual own understanding 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 have four siblings and not any of them suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. I'm additionally a Sagittarius and it sounds as if we are vulnerable 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 wasn't sure. As far as he was worried there was no justification either way. So I think there is 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 think 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 anything completely different to anxiety?
As children we might have seen anyone 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 might actually be scared, as we looked to them to keep us protected. 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 could be truly beneficial often to know where my anxiety came from. And yes when I was feeling down it may of been fairly useful to have someone 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 really frightening. It would of been useful for me to have the doctor say, yes its inherited, at least then I might of least understood my anxiety better.
