Abstract
Duration of untreated illness (DUI) in anxiety disorders profoundly shapes clinical outcomes, yet systematic assessment remains neglected. This editorial synthesises current evidence, underscores the consequences of prolonged treatment delay and proposes disorder-specific and system-level interventions to reduce DUI in anxiety disorders: a priority for clinical progress and health policy reform.
