Yes! Anxiety can indeed be genetic. You may want to check with a doctor or psychiatrist to see if you may have anxiety.

Generally, yes. It's either through genetics or from learned behaviour. It doesn't always mean family members will definitely develop anxiety though, it can just increase the likelihood.

It can. I'm not actually positive if this is a biological process or a environmental one, but if you grow up with a parent who has anxiety, as a child you likely pick up on that and learn that system of reacting to problems.

Studies suggest that amity could be a genetic thing however from my experience it's not like that. In my family I am the only person who ever encountered anxiety to such an extent

Anxiety can have a slight genetic component depending on the cause but it can be prevented with the right lifestyle choices.

Maybe it does, but being around anxious people all the time might make one feel anxious too. More research will answer this question in the future.

Yes, it is very possible that if someone in your family has suffered from anxiety that you could also have it.

Yes. Anxiety is very often passed through genetics. There is no guarantee that parents will pass anxiety to their kids, but it's likely

I believe anxiety runs in families. Home environment can change a lot about someones personality. I mean homes where the heart is right??
