If this were true all siblings would have similar anxiety issues, but I'm willing to bet this is not really the case. IMHO most mental illness is genetic, or at least the predisposition is, which can than be triggered by upbringing, but it can also be triggered at every other point in your life so... I mean... And Kids will spend a lot of that time in school; parents have to be pretty darn overbearing to get to the level of school-like schedule and behavior control, so again, all very dubious this is all down to parenting.

Yep, this. It cannot just be situational because of what you say. And I think the strongest evidence for it being genetic is what the article touches on - how drugs that target people’s seratonin and dopamine levels work.
