Why people have Anxious children
Anxious parents are more likely to have anxious children, a study on rhesus monkeys has revealed. It added that the risk of developing anxiety and depression is passed from parents to children.
The findings showed that elevated activity in the brain areas is likely involved in mediating the in-born risk for extreme anxiety and anxious temperament that can be observed in early childhood.
Monkeys, like humans, can be temperamentally anxious and pass their anxiety-related genes on to the next generation.
By studying nearly 600 young rhesus monkeys, the team found that about 35 per cent of variation in anxiety-like tendencies is explained by family history.
To a certain extent, anxiety can provide an evolutionary advantage because it helps an individual recognize and avoid danger.
.But when the circuits are over-active, it becomes a problem and can result in anxiety and depressive disorders.
Surprisingly, the study found that it was the function of brain structures – and not their size – that was responsible for the genetic transfer of an anxious temperament.
