While a person may feel like avoiding situations that cause anxiety is an easy way to remain comfortable, an expert warns that it is a 'double edged sword' that could cause more harm in the future.Dr Tracy Marks, an Atlanta, Georgia-based psychologist, tells DailyMail.com that anxiety is a natural reaction to certain stressors - but if a person struggling from it does not make an effort to overcome it that it will only get worse.Anxiety has become more prevalent in America and across the world in recent years - so much so that some have described the situation as a crisis. While Marks believes the number of people suffering the condition has increased, she also believes that the increased acceptance and understanding surrounding mental health in recent years has led to many feeling more open disclosing their issues and seeking help that would not have otherwise.
