Social Anxiety Disorder Biological?


I just asked a question about being ridiculously shy and someone mentioned Social Anxiety Disorder. I looked it up and most of the symptoms match sweating, blushing, etc.. etc.. for no reason at all.

Can it be passed on from parents? B/c i rememeber my mom telling me that she feels the same way when talking to people. And if it can what are the chances of it being passed on? I have brothers non of them are as "shy" as me.

It is believed that the predisposition to form an anxiety disorder is genetic, meaning your parents may pass on a tendency to form an anxiety disorder. However, the type of anxiety disorder is determined by the environment. Examples of anxiety disorders are: Social Phobia. OCD, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder etc.

No one knows the real cause for Social Anxiety Disorder but some say that it might be passed on from parents. I know exactly how you feel i also think i have SAD and I think my mom might have it too so its possible. It's a terrible disorder to have isn't it? It controls my life. :(
