Question : Hi, I believe I may be developing some form of an anxiety disorder. I was wondering what the symptoms are to look for, what doctor to go to? Can this disorder be hereditary as well?

Brief Answer:
Symptoms are obvious

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query

Anxiety disorder symptoms are pretty obvious, like taking too much stress with trivial issues, constant thinking about one issue, reduced sleep, etc.

If you have these, then psychiatrist is the best person to visit.

There may be a slight family predisposition but this is not exactly hereditary.

Effective treatment is available for these, including measures like meditation, so not to worry.

Hope this helps.
Regards
