Depends: Anxiety that occurs in response to situational factors sometimes improve or resolve when the situational factor changes. Anxiety can be a chronic problem for many people. Some studies have shown that if people with chronic panic attacks who are effectively treated with medication then stop their medication, that 25% will see symptoms return in 1 month and 85% will see symptoms return in 1 year.

There are ways: The two main forms of treatment for anxiety and panic disorder are medications and cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt). Cbt is very effective. It involves: exposure and response prevention therapy whereby a person makes themselves have a panic attack on purpose and then does nothing to make it go away, allowing it to go away on it's own. Then the body desensitizes itself and the panic stops.
