There are numerous factors that might contribute to the development of anxiety and panic disorders. All of them play a part in creating the needed conditions for panic attacks, panic disorder and other phobias and anxiety to play an active role in your life.
So have you inherited an anxiety disorder? Some of the risk factors are: biological causes, childhood traumas,and accumulated stress. Yes children do suffer with stress, they just display it differently.
If you can associate with any of these then you may be suseptical for possible anxiety and panic problems. In order for these factors to come into play, they usually need to be triggered or activated by a memory link back to your childhood.
These triggers can incorporate excessive stress, trauma or conditioning.
As soon as a panic attack or anxiety attack have entered your life, they only stay in your life because you are maintaining the causes that are fueling them. For People who have panic disorder life can be very hard, for no s reason the alarm system in their body is triggered even though there is no danger and many scientists don´t know why this happens.
Panic disorder does seem to run in families, which may mean there is a strong biological component but numerous people with no family history develop panic disorder which suggests that biology is not the only factor at play.
There is a lot of controversy about whether panic disorders, phobias and anxiety can be inherited. Research has not exposed a magic gene that controls anxiety or clear evidence that your parents are to blame for you condition.
That would be a fitting source of blame but it´s not the silver bullet. Yet, studies using twins show an increased possibility that one twin will have panic disorders if the other does. These studies seem to support that at least some of the responsibility falls to your genetic design.
What lots of researchers and experts on this matter believe is inherited, is a personality type. If the personality type you inherit is predisposed to be anxious, volatile, excitable and reactive you are more likely to develop an anxiety disorder.
However, the manifestations of that reactive personality depend on the stresses you are exposed to in childhood, adolescence and beyond.
You may never had a full blown panic disorder or agoraphobia because you were raised in a nurturing atmosphere and were surrounded by caring people. Its the old nature and nurture argument. Since nurture plays a role, here are some contributing factors that might incline you to panic attacks or anxiety disorders. If your parents were overprotective this may lead to an excessive worry and concern for your own safety.
The nervous attitude of your parents about catching a cold, crossing the street, not climbing too high etc. etc. will cause and reinforce a reluctant, fearful view of the world as a dangerous place. If your parents were high achievers and expected the same from you it could have had a detrimental impact.
The high principles and the strive for flawlessness may have made you a perfectionist and too self-critical. These traits can lead to panic disorders because perfection is impossible to accomplish and a lifetime of coming up short can certainly fuel a doubtful, anxious personality .Growing up in an insecure environment, either physically or emotionally can lead to anxiety conditions. Aside from the more obvious physical, sexual or emotional abuse, experiences such as divorce, death, or an alcoholic or addicted family member can lead to excessive clinginess and lack of confidence later on in life.

Good point, too, Valyn. I have to agree that NP definitely leans on his illness and uses it as a crutch. I wonder, is he medicated, or does he take his medication properly? I know I look back on myself before I was medicated for my anxiety disorders and panic disorder, and I am a different person in many ways. Too, part of healing and therapy, at least in my opinion, is being very self-aware, like your friend, Janrae, and that takes hard work. Something we all know Nick does not like to do.

Responding to a perceived threat passively and 'floating' may well be the hardest thing anyone ever has to do. It takes a while, but as long as you anticipate feeling worse before you feel better you'll very slowly turn a corner. Using CBT, think oil tanker, not speedboat.
Continued…I even went to my high school principal for help and she coldly said, I'd have to go through my parents and PAY for private counseling. So I kept quite for years until my mid-twenties. I told my mother but to this day, she still remains married to that monster. This country needs to HELP children who are victims of sexual crimes, NOT IGNORE them!!!! I hate this stupid country. No wonder everyone else in the world does too.

Dear Bonnie,
I have suffered with anxiety and panic disorder for thirty years. I had it under control for 10 years but in 2003, I moved to Maine and it continues to get worse. I cannot take medication and also am a Christian. Your website is very calming and helpful. I am interested in writing to others that suffer with panic disorder/anxiety. I pray for all that have anxiety, depression, panic disorder and emotional suffering, every day. I ask for your prayers. I have no medical insurance and I have been searching for work. I know God is there but sometimes I feel so abandoned. Thank you for your prayers.

Wellbutrin, Xanax, all kept me edgey, NOT a feeling I needed. Of course these were prescribed by my regular Doc. After seeing a psychologist, and a psychatrist, I seem to be better, although, funk still invades once in awhile. I have no addiction problems, besides books, so I can offer you too much advice, I'm just a panic disorder case. But sounds like your honest and taking responsibility. A good start.
Peace to you and yours,

Take care Krista, I am thinking of you (((you and the little guys)))
What a brilliant description of falling financial markets, panic and disorder, linked to the waterfall and then the gorgeous panorama at the end. I loved how you described how you received bits and pieces of the news of the world economic meltdown through a crackly “protesting hiss and fart” of the radio. Gorgeous photos, too.
We should throw out everyone in government and start with a fresh batch of crooks!

I can relate… You remind me of myself at that age… I have almost the exact some fear… I call it a phobia… I do however have a phobia of vomiting and so my stomachs cause severe anxiety and I too have them all day long every day… it makes for a long and lonely life for me… and don't get mad at yourself for wanting your mom… that is normal
Them hairless cats are just plain freaky to me. Being the past owner of two persians, I would say give me hair, less scary. I want Autumn to happen, its like 93 here…I mean its hot still here in LA.
I know wanting to to go to NYC on New Year's Eve and be in the middle of the 'mess' in Times Square is rather nutty. Especially for someone with panic disorder and agoraphobia…LOL. I really would love to do ALL of those things and more; Statue of Liberty, Broadway, Times Square, the museums, the restaurants…just everything. I would dearly love to experience it all one day. I keep working toward it. Maybe I'll actually get there.

Thanks so much for sharing your talent! And not being afraid to talk about depression, anxiety and panic disorders! I'm a member of that little club, unfortunately. I'm glad that these illnesses are being discussed more and with a positive outlook. It is a struggle to deal with these illnesses and comforting to know you are not the “only one”.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – An Overview
Panic attacks often start in children, like they did with me. My suffering started when I was at school, and were at their worst during exam times.
Panic disorder in children can be difficult to diagnose. This can lead to many visits to physicians and multiple medical tests which are expensive and potentially painful. When properly evaluated and diagnosed, panic disorder usually responds well to treatment. Children and adolescents with symptoms of panic attacks should first be evaluated by their family physician or pediatrician
Doctors will only prescribe medication in extreme cases because of possible side effects, so beware.Several types of treatment are effective. With new techniques the child may also learn new ways to control anxiety or panic attacks when they occur. With treatment, the panic attacks can usually be stopped. Early treatment can prevent the complications of panic disorder such as agoraphobia, depression and substance abuse.
