Anxiety is probably environment-induced. Kids are not necessarily so anxious.

  It can be environment-induced, but need not be. It is worthwhile to test this, because it is a strong indicator of the origin of the anxiety which can help determine proper treatment. Basically, all you need to do is go on a holiday for a couple of weeks. If your anxiety isn't gone by the end of the holiday, then your anxiety is probably not environment-induced. Also, if you wake up every morning with a racing heart, then probably your anxiety is not environment-induced.

  That's rather the hallmark of an anxiety disorder: it's not necessarily caused by anything.
