The document discusses what causes anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). GAD affects around 7 million people and is characterized by excessive anxiety for at least 6 months that causes symptoms like sleep issues, irritability, and muscle tension. While the specific causes are not fully understood, factors that may contribute include genetics as GAD runs in families, environmental trauma, and imbalances in neurotransmitters like GABA, serotonin, and dopamine in the brain. Certain brain regions like the amygdala have also been linked to anxiety disorders and related physical health issues. Phobias are another type of anxiety disorder that some evidence suggests may be imprinted genetically.

1. Why Do You Have
Anxiety?

2. Most of us have faced the darkness of anxiety.

3. Perhaps it's sitting an exam.

4. Or applying for a new job.

5. Or driving on a freeway.

6. Or meeting your lover's family.

7. However, for some people, anxiety constitutes
a cascade of dread and worry that's difficult to
stop This chronic situation definitely harms
quality of life.

8. OK, so what's really going on?

9. Why do you get so damn anxious?

10. First of all, let's get something straight:

11. You're not alone.

12. Some seven million people are afflicted with
General Anxiety Disorder (GAD).

13. What, precisely, is GAD?

14. It's a condition in which you experience
excessive anxiety more days than not…

15. And you experience them for at least six
consecutive months.

16. Fallout symptoms include: sleep
disturbances; irritability; and muscle tension.

17. An individual suffering from GAD may also
experience bouts of accelerated heart rate,
shortness of breath, and dizziness.

18. While not yet fully understood, feeling is
partially triggered by the amygdala and
hypothalamus, controlling the flow of cortisol
and adrenaline in your body.

19. Genetically speaking, 40% of those with
generalized anxiety disorder also have a
relative affected by it.

20. This implies these hormone levels are likely
linked to your genes.

21. Your environment can also be a factor, as
certain anxiety disorders are linked to
traumatic childhood experiences.

22. Varying levels of neutron transmitters---like
GABA, serotonin, and dopamine---may also
be to blame.

23. Serotonin, which contributes to feeling of well-
being and happiness, works by moving from
neuron to neuron in your brain, via a synapse.

24. However, it's been suggested that people with anxiety
disorders have a corrupted serotonin pathway.

25. Many anxiety disorders also show an overactive
amygdala and periaqueductal gray area...

26. Which can have negative repercussions not
just on the brain but on our bodies.

27. In a study of nearly 300 people over a five-
year span, those who had overactive
amygdalas had higher incidents of congestive
heart failure.

28. Phobias are anxiety disorders, as well.

29. But since many fears can help use survive---
like the fear of spiders or heights, it's been
suggested that they may be imprinted on our
DNA and passed on.

30. When mice are shocked with electricity after
been exposed to the smell of fruit, they
quickly learn are fear that smell.

31. But more amazing is that the future
generations of mice also fear the fruit smells,
even though they've never been exposed to
the shock.

32. While medication and/or therapy may help
you tame your anxiety...

33. The former can be dangerous to your health,
while the latter is expensive.

34. Instead, you should employ this cutting-edge,
holistic solution.

35. It can wipe away the anxiety forever.
