Golf, everyone is different in recovery times. It took me 3 or 4 months until the anxiety subsided. I was abusing vodka and valium so my time might be extreme. If you have underlying anxiety/depression issues you'll still have to treat those with a Doctor. It does get much better though as time passes.
