Is anxiety and panic disorders inheritable? my father has it , and i often have panic attacks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible: Anxiety and depression (often occur together) can run in families. Often a serotonin imbalance is the cause. Additionally, we learn coping skills from our parents, so there can be an environmental component as well. There are effective treatments. Please talk to your doctor.
