If a person wants to overcome their anxiety issues, does it matter how long a person has struggled with unhealthy anxiety?
No, it’s doesn’t matter how long a person has struggled with anxiety issues, they can still overcome it.
Since anxiety is caused by behavior, which can be changed, a person can make those changes at any age and time. It doesn’t matter how long a person has had issues with unhealthy anxiety.

So again, no. It doesn’t matter how long a person has struggled with anxiety issues. Healthy behavioral change is available at any age.
