The roots of anxiety
webinar
Recent research is shedding new light on the tangled web of genetic and environmental factors that contribute to anxiety disorders. Through the emerging field of epigenetics, researchers are now considering not only what the genetic indicators are, but how some of them may actually change over time.
Watch this webinar to find out what we know so far about the factors contributing to anxiety disorders and how advancing our understanding could help us predict who is at risk, as well as better target treatments for those already suffering.
