How long does it take for anxiety to get better? i've been in therapy for over a year and i am not feeling any better.

It depends!: Some anxiety can get better with 15 minutes of the "relaxation response." but, there are an infinite number of causes for anxiety. Finding the cause is important. For example, if an obvious stressor in your situation persists for over a year, it may be difficult to feel better (without heroic psychological maneuvers). You might also benefit from a fresh evaluation and treatment plan.
