Anxiety can definitely qualify as an illness that progresses overtime. For myself it has definitely worsened and become more extreme over the years, especially without proper treatment. Definitely see a therapist as a first step and they will let you know if a psychiatrist is necessary as well. Be proactive and get ahead of it if symptoms aren’t completely taking you down right now that doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. Trust me as someone who’s been dealing with anxiety since I was very young it’s definitely out of control right now and a lot more work getting back to a functioning state than it would’ve been if I seemed real help sooner! I would look into grounding exercises as well as start reading more about the condition to better get to know your body and what triggers you specifically.

you don't need permission/referral from a therapist to see a psychiatrist! And I meant that it's not necessarily progressive as in it will definitely get worse, with treatment anxiety can improve for life. Of course, anxiety will never go away because we need it to survive.
