- Abstract
Because anxiety disorders are currently one of the most common psychiatric disorders in the general population, an investigation of the risk factors that can trigger them may be helpful in preventing this disease. Material and methods: We perform a non-systematic review of the literature, using PubMed and Google Scholar searching engines, based on the following words: "risk factor" and "anxiety disorder". We selected only articles written in English with relevance to the topic. We critically analyzed a total of 100 articles. Based on the relevance of their content, we finally selected for our review the 56 most significant contributions. Results: After searching literature, we are able to consider that risk factors for anxiety disorders development, irrespective of a certain group of population or of age, can be classified into four classes: 1) constitutional; 2) genetic; 3) environmental; and 4) individual-specific factors. Conclusion: The risk factors for anxiety disorders are numerous and as such this psychiatric condition is a complex one, even more complex than previously thought. In the same time, the risk factors for anxiety disorders are still largely unknown.
