Is anxiety inherited from the mother or father?
Is anxiety inherited from the mother or father? People ask if anxiety is genetic, and if so, from which parent. According to research, anxiety disorders are heavily influenced by genetics; family members of someone diagnosed with an anxiety disorder are up to six times more likely to experience the same condition. The chances of suffering from anxiety are multiplied when one of the parents suffers or has experienced symptoms of anxiety.
Is Anxiety Genetic? Yes it can be. Some types of anxiety disorders are more likely to develop in first-degree relatives. Your first-degree relatives are four to six times more likely to have the same disorder if you have panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Additional associations were found between parents and children and particular anxiety disorders:
A woman with social anxiety disorder is 3.7 times more likely to have social anxiety disorder passed on to her child.
A mother with generalized anxiety disorder increases her child's risk of developing the disorder by 3.5 times. Nearly three times as often, parents with anxiety disorders have children with social anxiety disorder.
