Anyboy can have an anxiety disorder. Typically they develope out of depression or some kind of traumatic event. If one has a family history of anxiety disorder, they're more likely to develope it. In many cases, this disorder can come up when a phobia (or extreme fear) gets out of hand to the point where it deeply affects the sufferer's life.
