Anyone have others in family with panic disorder?

[JUST ME]

I kinda stumbled across this group today.
I have panic attacks and my mother did also. I was wondering if any here
have other family members with this.

Hi Just me.

Yes, I do, I believe my mother did (but hid it) and I know my
grandmother had some form of mentla illiness. However, my daughter
has started recently having them about the same age I started with
them. I also have a brother that suffers from them.

Yes my brother (only a 17 months difference in age) has it also. His
manifests somewhat different than mine however.

Yup. Can't recall the percentage, but if one family member has been
diagnosed with PD there is a significantly greater chance that other
family members will get it as well, compared to the general population.

My family? Myself, my mother, one of her sisters, grandmother. Probably
3 male uncles as well who were heavily into "self medication" -
alcoholics. All on the maternal side of the family line.

Yes, unfortunately, it runs in my family.
