Ronanon,
Anxiety, a sense of failure and other feelings are often rooted in childhood issues, not only in chemical and behavioural ones.
Books by Arthur Janov focus on the connection between early emotional pain and ilness (both physical and mental). His book Why You Get Sick, How You Get Well is supposedly the best.
If you want to learn more about disfunctional families, the book Adult Children of Abusive Parents is great, including some of the more 'suttle' emotional things.
