Can anxiety disorder be inherited?
Studies have shown that anxiety disorder is closely related to family history. Genetically, if one identical twin gets sick, the chance of the other getting sick is 50%. If one parent suffers from anxiety disorder, the probability of the child getting sick is 25%. If both parents have anxiety disorder, the probability of children getting sick will rise to 50%~75%. However, in patients with a history of hereditary anxiety disorder, the chromosome 1 1 is abnormal, indicating that anxiety disorder is a hereditary disease.
However, some studies have found that for anxiety and tension, significant direct environmental factors will make anxiety passed on to the offspring of teenagers. On the contrary, the evidence of genetic transmission is not significant. In other words, the relationship between parental anxiety and offspring anxiety is largely due to the direct influence between parents and children. Teenagers get anxious behaviors from their parents through various channels, such as imitation. Therefore, we can think that it is possible to reduce the influence of anxiety on the development of future generations by providing education and counseling services for anxiety patients.
Can anxiety have children?
You can have children, but it is not recommended to regenerate after the children are well.
As the saying goes, it is not physiological factors that affect anxiety, but parenting after giving birth!
Although it has not been proved that anxiety disorder has biological inheritance, the cognitive and behavioral patterns of anxiety disorder may be reflected in parents' parenting styles, thus affecting children's behavior habits. Parents' anxiety can easily be "transmitted" to their children through daily unintentional interaction.
Therefore, the best choice is to control anxiety before the child is 3 years old.
Can anxiety be cured?
Anxiety disorder can be cured. Although the process is slow, it is determined by the characteristics of anxiety disorder. The treatment process of anxiety disorder needs to be determined according to the severity of the disease and the patient's treatment, and the condition can be improved by prolonging or shortening the treatment cycle.
