Where do high levels of anxiety come from?
Are we born with it? Do we catch it from others? There are many
different theories as to the development of anxiety and it's causes.
Generally, it is a combination of factors, both genetic, psychological,
behavioural, environmental, physical and sometimes medical.
It is very important to understand that everyone experiences
anxiety - this is a normal emotion. The difference is that some people
develop and experience high levels of anxiety on a regular or daily basis, and
over time this can lead to the onset of an Anxiety Disorder. It is also
important to be aware that while your Anxiety Disorder may have developed due to
particular reasons, there are also things you are more than likely doing now
that are maintaining it. The information in this section provides you with
knowledge about possible explanations of how your Anxiety Disorder developed, as well as the
Maintaining Causes.
