Risk Factors for Anxiety Disorders
Risk factors for anxiety disorders
Research shows that there are some complex risk factors associated with the development of anxiety disorders:
- Brain chemistry problems - some people could be born with incorrect brain chemistry, which means the neurons, neurotransmitters (especially serotonin) and hormones may not be function very effectively and this could cause them to develop an anxiety disorder at some stage in their life (or more than once). Scientists also believe that in some people who are not born with faulty brain chemistry, something triggers something in their brain chemistry to malfunction and this causes them to develop an anxiety disorder

- Gender - being female is a risk factor for all anxiety disorders (except for obsessive-compulsive disorder). Women are more frequently diagnosed with anxiety disorders, compared to men. This could have a genetic basis to it, or it could be that women are more likely to see a doctor about psychological problems and men may not be so likely
- Genetics - some people are just more predisposed to this mental disorder through genetic factors. In addition to this, people with family members who have an anxiety disorder have a higher risk for getting one themselves
- Life events - some people just respond very differently to their stressful and/or traumatic events (which have a negative impact) in their life and may develop an anxiety disorder as a subsequence
