Most of us feel anxious at one point or another, but people with anxiety disorders feel anxious all of the time and it is hard for them to accomplish everyday tasks. Researchers are still investigating the etiology of anxiety disorders. However, there appears to be some evidence that some families tend to be more anxious.
