What are the causes and symptoms of anxiety disorders?
The causes of anxiety include a variety of individual and general social factors, and may produce physical, cognitive, emotional, or behavioral symptoms. The patient’s ethnic or cultural background may also influence his or her vulnerability to certain forms of anxiety. Genetic factors that lead to biochemical abnormalities may also play a role. Anxiety in children may be caused by suffering from abuse, as well as by the factors that cause anxiety in adults. Source: The Gale Group.
