It can. I got anxiety from my dad, and he got anxiety from his dad. My brother also has anxiety. So I think it's possible that anxiety can run in a family, but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to for an individual to be diagnosed with anxiety

Yes, because there are different types of anxiety. They aren't contagious but they run in your genes. It differs between each family member because no ones genes are exactly alike, some are more immune, some are not.

No. I have Anxiety problems. But my mom and dad has a very calm personality. They never panic or anxious about anything. So I don't think it runs in families.

I think it does. My grandmother had anxiety, my mom has it, and so do I know. I really think that it is a gene passed down in families.

Research has shown that anxiety does have a biological basis. However, more research is necessary. Anxiety could be due to genetics.

There is a genetic component. Some people might inherit more stress-reactive alleles, for example. However, genetics is not a determining factor. Anxiety might also run in family by anxious attitudes and behaviors being modeled and passed down, such as distrust and avoidance tendencies. Overall, genetics and environment interact for anxiety to manifest.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
