English term or phrase: environment
I need to know what is the equivalent in Spanish for "environment" in the next context

Twin studies suggest a greater genetic component in adolescent versus prepubertal onset depression, whisc support the view that early-onset depression often may be a response to a chaotic environment.

Estudios afines indican la presencia de un componente genético mayor en adolescentes que en prepúberes con principio de depresión, los cuales apoyan la opinión de que el inicio temprano de depresión por lo general podría ser una respuesta a un entorno caótico.

ambiente


Explanation:
I think that "ambiente caótico" is also O.K. to use. A similar instance that I found uses the same word for "environment":

los niños disfrutan de un ambiente feliz en casa =the children have a happy home environment.
