Grasping Panic Attacks - by Kevin Reilly
Grasping Panic Attacks - by Kevin Reilly: "After a panic attack has occurred, many times a visit to the emergency room follows to ensure that a heart attack, stroke, or some other serious ailment has not just happened. After every test possible, the doctor comes up with a diagnosis. He tells you that all of your tests have come back negative and what you are experiencing is normal and harmless. He explains that you are experiencing panic attacks. The doctor prescribes medicine, a follow up checkup with your general practitioner, and then sends you on your way. As the doctor is explaining this, thoughts are racing through your mind. How can this be normal and harmless? The doctor just cannot be right. He has to be missing something. After leaving the hospital and feeling as if the doctor has completely misdiagnosed your situation, you have decided to take it upon yourself to grasp what this new diagnosis means."
