Acute Anxiety Disorder
In a large percentage of patients with acute anxiety disorder symptoms, their first episode is not their last. Many factors contribute to the likelihood of recurrence. The most significant factors are how many previous episodes a person has had, how young the person was when the first episode occurred, if the person has a supportive family, and what type and amount of stressors are present. Some people are able to return to their normal pre-episode level of functioning, but most are not. The longer an episode of anxiety disorder symptoms lasts, the less likely it is that the person will fully recover. This can result in serious impairment in job status, income, marital relationships, and recreational activities.
