Is anxiety inherited, what do you think? For me I do not think so. I really feel many of us are born into a lineage where there a number of us are dealing with anxiety. But that does not imply that we will have anxiety.

Talking from my individual personal experience my Mother had anxiety and I'm not 100% guaranteed but I believe my father was a pretty nervous man. So yes it was in my family. But I have four littermates and none of them suffer from nervousness or anxiety attacks. Moreover, I am a Sagittarius and it sounds as if we are susceptible to be anxious people. As a result this may also be a contributing factor.

When I had my first panic attack I did ask my Physician the question "is anxiety inherited", he was not sure. As far as he was concerned there was no proof either way. So I consider there isn't any definitive solution to the issue "is stress inherited".

I truly believe that there is no such thing as an anxiety gene within us. I do believe that we can pick up on the behaviours of those close to us when we are maturing. So I feel we could have learnt behaviour that is something completely different to anxiety.

As kids we may have witnessed somebody close to us having an anxiety attack and never in fact realized what was going on. But what we would of grabbed, was the fear they where feeling. And if it was a close relative who was acting worried, then we would really be afraid, as we looked to them to keep us safe. However we would not of recognized their fear.

Thus there may be a case for anxiety being a learnt behaviour, but when it comes to the question "is stress inherited", I am not sure. Though it would be really helpful at times to find out where my anxiety came from. And yes when I was feeling down it would of been quite helpful to have someone to blame and be angry with. But again that's merely a part of the process, well it had been for me. The unsure or not understanding was really terrifying. It would of been beneficial for me to have the doctor say, yes your anxiety is inherited,at least then I might of least understood my anxiousness better.
