I dont think theres a single answer, genetics, learned behaviour as a child, a chemical inbalance in the brain or any life changing events like the loss of a loved one.
Anxiety can be caused by Stress, Paranoia... Etc.
You may have had a very stressful event take place such as a new born baby, or a move of house.. Causing a lot of stress, thus causing Anxiety.
If the Anxiety becomes overwhelming you can have an Anxiety Attack... Kind of like a Panic Attack.
You can be prescribed medication in certain curcumstances but your doctor will most likey advise you to see a Counsellor or Therapist before verturing into the medication side of things.
Living outside of the NOW. Worrying about the future or re-hashing the past. If you concentrate and deal with RIGHT NOW you will reduce your anxiety. If you are washing the dishes... think ONLY of getting the dishes washed. Not projecting your mind ahead in time to what you will have to do later and living in THAT moment at the same time. That causes an overload in your mind. Also, reduce the caffeine you intake and get lots of exercise!
I believe it the, "Flight or Fight" thing we have. Fight or Flight is an animal instinct with with potential threats. They examine the would-be predator and choose if they will stand up and fight, or if they know they can't win, and the get outta there.
