Panic Disorder Causes - What You Really Need To Know
April 19, 2009 by Alex Taylor
Check out my previous article on panic disorder symptoms.
No one can know with complete certainty the panic disorder causes for each individual. But there are a few possibilities that are the same for all of us.
If you can become familiar with each of these possible panic disorder causes, and identify your own, you will have a much better understanding of your own disorder and you’ll be in a far better position to overcome it.
Possible Panic Disorder Causes
Lifestyle Factors
This includes things such as upbringing, family life as a child, and current life right now. For some of us, it also includes traumatic events experienced as a child.
Heredity
Psychologists still believe that all panic disorders are potentially passed on from one generation to the next.
This is a less popular idea than it was a few years ago.
Recently, experts have leaned towards the lifestyle factors mentioned a moment ago.
The reason heredity was a supported cause for so long is because you are much more likely to develop panic disorder if someone in your family already has one, suggesting it does run in families.
But now it is believed this is because people from the same family are usually exposed to the same lifestyle factors, and that is why you are more likely to have this problem if someone close to you also does.
Brain Chemistry
Experts also believe that incorrect brain chemistry is to blame for the developing of panic and anxiety problems.
Medications that alter brain chemistry (like SSRIs, for example) often improve anxiety symptoms, and these experts take it as a sign that these imbalances are one of the biggest panic disorder causes.
