Social Anxiety Disorder Biological?

Question

I just asked a question about being ridiculously shy and someone mentioned Social Anxiety Disorder. I looked it up and most of the symptoms match sweating, blushing, etc.. etc.. for no reason at all.

Can it be passed on from parents? B/c i rememeber my mom telling me that she feels the same way when talking to people. And if it can what are the chances of it being passed on? I have brothers non of them are as "shy" as me.

Answer 1

I seriously doubt it. I have social anxiety disorder, but my parents certainly don't have it. If anything I got it from my many experiences with people growing up.
