Is Anxiety Disorder Hereditary?
Is anxiety disorder hereditary?
I'm only a teenager, so I can't really make the choice to see a therapist on my own, and my parents don't believe in seeing any type of therapist for mental illnesses.
My mom forced herself to overcome her obsessive compulsive disorder without medication or therapy, and she'd like for me to do the same.

Separation Anxiety Causing Loss of Fur
My cat is 2 1/2 years old. We did have another cat that he grew up with but then she passed away about a year ago. Since then he has been loosing his fur and has scabs all over him.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do for him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Could this be separation anxiety? When my husband or I come home he's all over us and won't leave us alone.
I do believe cats grieve, and that separation anxiety can aggravate a lot of physical problems, but it sounds like this is a physical problem that hasn't been properly diagnosed and treated accordingly.

Have you ever had an anxiety attack at work? How do you overcome it?
I got on prescription medication for anxiety attacks.
After work, don't ALLOW it to bother you, even if you actually have to say to yourself as you are leaving the building, "Okay, all this crap is staying here I am not going to let it affect me outside of this place."

Don't Let Social Anxiety Disorder Symptoms Rule Your Life
"I eventually got to the point where I couldn't even leave the house. I couldn't face the possibility of going to the mall or grocery shopping because I was certain that everyone would be staring at me and judging me.
"The more I gave in to the symptoms, the worse they became. Finally my mother insisted that I seek professional help for my social anxiety disorder symptoms. I am so glad that I sought help because my life is so much better now."
The secondary symptoms of social anxiety vary from person to person. Some people cannot write in public because they are afraid their hand will shake. Others miss important job interviews because they cannot bear the thought of meeting someone new. Some have anxiety about eating or drinking in public.

Separation Anxiety Torments Children and Their Parents
Five-year old Jessica seemed relatively calm about her first day in kindergarten and her parents had no reason to suspect that separation anxiety would be a problem. She smiled sweetly as her father snapped her picture while she was getting into the car in her shiny new shoes with her hair in pigtails and a pink Dora the Explorer backpack in her arms.
A few minutes later the same little girl was standing at the door to her new classroom, crying hysterically, screaming, clutching the hem of her mother's skirt and begging not to be left alone in her new surroundings.
Not wanting to go to school can occur anytime but it is most common in children 5-7 and 11-14, times when children are dealing with the new challenges of elementary school and middle school.

Depression and Anxiety Disorder - Double Trouble
According to a recent issue of Psychology Today, clinicians and researchers are currently moving toward the conclusion that depression and anxiety disorder may not be two disorders that coexist, but two faces of one disorder.
"The genetics seem to be the same. The psychological and biological natures of the vulnerability seem to be the same. It's just that some people with the vulnerability react with anxiety to life stressors. Some people, in addition, go beyond that to become depressed."
It makes sense that severe anxiety can lead to depression. After all if your mind is crippled by fear you are not likely to be happy or think positive thoughts.
