Anxiety and panic attacks/disorders are one of the most common, if not the most common emotional disorders. It is reported that one out of every 76 people worldwide will experience a panic attack, anxiety attack, and or severe depression in their lives. Each year around 1/3 of American adults have at least one panic attack while most of these adults never develop repeated panic attacks. Only 21% of people who ever suffer from anxiety and panic attacks reach out for professional help. If these attacks are repeated or frequent, you should get help because repeated panic attacks/anxiety attacks can cause long term health issues.



Do I have Anxiety and Panic Disorder?



The truth is if you experience one or several of the following symptoms, it is very likely that you have it: heart palpitations, sweating, trembling or shaking, sensations of shortness of breath or smothering, feeling of choking, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or abdominal distress, dizziness or light-headedness, derealisation or depersonalisation, fear of losing control or going "crazy", fear of dying, paresthesia, ...
... and chills or hot flushes.





What most don't realize is that thousands of people suffer in silence with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for years needlessly. What is very obvious to me is that people have a lot of misconceptions about anxiety and panic disorders. In order to cure them we need to know some facts about them first.



Firstly, anxiety and panic disorders are NOT mental illnesses. They are just behavioral conditions stored as memory, instinct and habit in the Amygdala, an almond-shaped set of neurons inside the brain. The National Institute of Mental Health has confirmed that conditions such as anxiety, depression, autism, PTSD, OCD, and phobias are caused by abnormal functioning of the Amygdala.

Secondly, anxiety and panic disorders conditions CAN be eliminated 100% permanently, contrary to what most believe. All of the doctor visits, panic and Anxiety meds, therapy, and counseling will never be a permanent cure. They are just "band aids" to mask or ease the symptoms and attacks when they are happening. A 100% cure can be found online with a few very reputable and effective programs. I personally used The Linden Method to cure me forever. They have a very easy to do home program that you can do at your own pace. they have a help line with experts to help you through your program. There are other programs too, but this is the one I have experience with and can vouch 100% for.

We already know that stress, bereavement and life circumstances are just the triggers for the anxiety and that Amygdala is THE storage unit and the cause of the attacks. If we can change the way the Amygdala reacts, you'd be anxiety free. The good news is YOU CAN change the reaction of Amygdala quickly and permanently with immediate results.

Now you know, for a fact, what is causing your problems. The Amygdala stores up all the stressers and gets "out of whack" causing your attacks. That is the first small step on the road to your permanent cure. There is much more you need to do for yourself to stay on track for getting your life back. Keep discovering more!
