For years and years I have taken meds to help me with my disorder. My world has shrunk due to avoidance, and I mean literally shrunk as I do not drive beyond my town and I will not be a passenger with anyone except the few people who know

But don’t you think that this is sometimes overdone as a diagnosis? A doctor does not know what else he can term what ails you so it is all chalked up to anxiety issues? I am all for talk therapy to get past these issues but I still fail to see how medicating someone for something like this will help them get to the root cause of what is causing all of the anxiety in the first place. I just think that this is kind of a catch all just to give someone a diagnosis for something which may or may not be real. I am not trying to step on any toes but I do think this should be considered as a valid point of view.

My husband is on anti anxiety medication and it is the best thing that could have ever happened for him and for our marriage. Before consulting with a physician about this, his panic attacks would literally leave him confined to the house in a constant state of distress and anxiety. It was really taking a toll on our lives. Thanks to an understanding doctor and some trial and error with several different medications he is on the path to a strong recovery and everything is going well for us again. Do not doubt the seriousness of any anxiety disorder. They can be crippling and have a devastating effect on the lives of many today.

Did I read somewhere recently that General anxiety disorder is one of the most common diagnoses in the country?

I’ve been in therapy recently as I was rushed to hospital with symptoms of a heart attack. The ECG said so but on further investigations they found that I was suffering from an anxiety attack. I work as a stockbroker and life is pretty much 24/7. I’ve been asked to change profession or find ways of slowing down. Changing my scenario is hard as my job sometimes doesnt allow me access to even the hallway. I didnt realise I was anxious for everything and anything till my son told me to my hands were shaking at dinner time one day. Anyways this article definitely double confirms it.
