Of course, the cause of anxiety isn’t as cut-and-dry as simply being a matter of biology. As we grow and our brains develop, there is a complex interplay between “nature” (our inherited genes) and “nurture” (our lived experiences). To further complicate things, we now know that certain experiences can actually trigger genetic changes that lead to structural differences in the brain.
For example, children who experience chronic high levels of cortisol (part of the “fight or flight” response) can actually be at risk of developmental changes in how the frontal cortex processes information, which can affect everything from behavior to normal emotional development.
This means that children who grow up experiencing or witnessing abuse, neglect, or other traumatic events are much more likely to experience anxiety (and other disorders) themselves.
There is also a “learned” component to anxiety, where children normalize behavior that can be pathological–such as thinking that the obsessive worrying and panic attacks frequently experienced by a parent are normal.
Just like with abuse or neglect themselves, if a child who witnessed a parent with debilitating anxiety replicates this behavior in adulthood with their own children, a generational pattern is created that can be very difficult to disrupt. The other important element of “learned” anxiety is related to a specific event and often comes in the form of PTSD–something that can happen at any age, even to a fully-developed brain.
