Documentary’s On Anxiety The last One He Talks About Is Anxiety Inherited
Here are 8 short documentary’s on anxiety,depression, and stress, in video number 8 he talks about Is Anxiety Inherited, do we have an anxiety gene?
Is Anxiety Inherited, he is not saying a definite no to this, but what i feel he is saying is, that the behaviour is learnt.
Is anxiety inherited, what do you think? For me I do not believe so. I believe a few of us are born into a lineage where there is anxiety and panic attacks. However that does not indicate that we will have anxiety.
Speaking from my individual personal understanding my Mum had anxiety and I’m not a 100% sure but I think my Dad was a pretty nervous guy. So yes it was in my family. But i have four siblings and not any of them suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. I am additionally a Sagittarius and it sounds 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 Doctor the question “is anxiety inherited”, he was not convinced. As far as he was concerned there was no corroboration either way. So I consider there is no definitive answer to the question “is anxiety inherited”.
I truly 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 are growing up. So I feel we can have learnt behaviour. Which is something entirely different to anxiety?
As kids we may have witnessed 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 would really be frightened, as we looked to them to keep us safe. But we would not of understood there fear.
So there may be an argument for anxiety being a learnt behaviour, but as for the question “is anxiety inherited”, I am not certain. Although it would be really advantageous at times to know where my anxiety came 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 thats just part of the process, well it was for me. The not knowing or understanding was really frightening. It would of been beneficial for me to have the doctor say, yes its inherited,at least then i might of least understood my anxiety better.
What do you believe? Please leave a sensible comment to the question “is anxiety inherited”. I would really value your input.
