Untreated anxiety contributes significantly to overall stress. It can interfere with learning, work, relationships, and general quality of life. Chronic stress is very hard on the body and contributes to many diseases. It is best to get it treated.
Untreated, it could cause difficulties in your daily life functioning.

Left untreated An anxiety disorder can interfere with one's daily activities. Depending on what triggers the anxiety will determine what kind of treatment is needed. Therapy along with pharmacology is always best. Medication only treats the symptoms.
