What happens if anxiety is left untreated?

It can worsen, remain the same or go away (if the anxiety is secondary to something going wrong in your life). Seeing a psychiatrist could help you.

Does talking therapy help anxiety?

Absolutely if the anxiety is situational. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the best treatment but you need a very good therapist.

How long can you stay on fluoxetine?

You can take it forever but usually after symptoms are gone you should taper off it after a year and see if you stay well.
