Question: Does Generalized Anxiety Disorder Have a Biological Cause?
Answer: Based on current research, there appears to be some sort of biological component to generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). However, a complete cause is still unclear, and environmental and cultural factors are still thought of as also being very important influences. It is quite likely that people may have some biological predisposition to develop a style of being in the world that contains a high level of anxiety and worry, and that environment, culture, and individual choices can shape this for better or worse.
