is there anyone out there who has recovered from panic disorder?

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 09:54:42 +0000

I suffer from panic disorder for a couple of years now. I have gone to psychiatrists, psychologists, read books & been on medication. Most of the time i feel horrible. I would just like to know if there is actually a person out there who has recovered from panic disorder without the drugs, which i absolutely cannot handle. And i’m not talking about those infomercial people, which you are not sure if they are being honest or not. Panic disorder is hell on earth & i would like to know if anybody has been able to escape it…

Why are there always such misinformation about panic disorder?

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:13:49 +0000

Every time someone hears about my attacks, I get useless and banal "advice" on overcoming them. People with no real psychological education other than reading self help books and watching Dr. Phil. My favorite is "suck it up" and "be a man." So anyone out there with panic disorder get this often or notice this? Does it bug you? How do you cope? It’s bad enough to have an illness that has you by the throat, but to endure constant ignorance is just salt in the wound.
10 years with panic disorder (agoraphobia on and off) Have been on Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa, Effexor, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc.

Tested for bi-polar and manic depression..hade neither, but was given Depikote "just in case" and it reacted badly.

8 years for constant therapy, psychotherapy, CBT, meditation and relaxation techniques, feedback related techniques and very little progress with most. CBT is still current and on going.

How do countries other than the U.S. treat panic disorder with or without agoraphobia?

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:23:34 +0000

Hello

I am trying to find information regarding how countries other than the United States treat panic disorders with or without agoraphobia–for example, Japan or Africa, Spain…basically wherever as long as it differs from the U.S. in some way. I’ve tried googling but have had no luck.

If you know, do you mind stating your source? I will have to cite it, as this is for a paper. I need to get a global perspective on this disorder.

Thank you!

Would like to find work, but am afraid due to my panic disorder…?

Fri, 06 Aug 2010 10:16:23 +0000

I would like to get a new job, but developed panic disorder a year and a half ago. I have been in the same job for three years. I am nervous about looking for a job knowing I have panic disorder. I am both nervous about telling prospective employers about it, and also having panic attacks on the job. Is there anything I can do to ease myself into looking for new work? Would it be seen as a bad thing to tell prospective employers? I am in cognitive therapy, and also under a psychiatrists care.
