No. It depends on the person entirely and if you start digging you will find about equal distribution of people who are calmed by a sativa and people who are calmed by an indica. I personally suspect that people who feel calm from a sativa are a little ADHD and it seems to make them think better and more calmly and indicas make them much more anxious because it exacerbates and existing condition.

anecdotal, but i am certainly an individual with adhd and i personally find strains marketed as indica dominant to be far more effective for anxiety relief and just general functionality. it also may just be a random correlation, but i always recalled seeing higher levels of cbd in indica based strains when I lived in Washington and the actual levels of cbd and thc in the product was listed on the packaging. i certainly don't think this is strong evidence that such a thing is the case, in an overarching empirical sense, but i can at least say, with confidence, that for me, indica dominant is much less anxiety inducing

This kind of matches my experience - the anxiety I get is from feeling like my mind is slowing down / not totally working properly and not knowing if it will ever come back. I think I am a bit ADHD, and caffeine has a kind of calming effect on me as well, so might be worth trying a sativa blend.
