The Anxiety Disorder
Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder
This disorder is marked by the presence of repeated panic attacks: sudden feelings of terror that appear with physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath as if suffocating, dizzy or light-headedness, numbness or tingling in the extremities, nausea, and visual distortions.
During these attacks sufferers often fear they will have a heart attack, faint, lose control, go crazy, or even die. The attacks begin to subside within 10 minutes but anxiety usually persists longer.
Some of the attacks appear “out of the blue” which leads to a generalized fear of more attacks, but some situations may reliably trigger the attacks.
Over time, people often begin to avoid the situations where they have experienced previous attacks. This can develop into Agoraphobia, an avoidance of situations from which escape may be difficult.
As this disorder grows it can become severely disabling often limiting people’s abilities to travel or even leave their homes.
The good news is that panic disorder is highly treatable. With medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, or both, the sufferer is soon on the way to recovery.
Remember you are never alone.

What natural herb can cure social anxiety disorder?
if anybody knows of anything that can cure social anxiety disorder (or at least make it a lil better) please tell me!!!
im taking a doctors prescription called Paxil, but are there any esaier ways that are natural and stuff?
I have the same problem, and was prescribed to the same thing, which I refused to take. I have no solution other than that once I finally leave the house, its not as bad as I make it out to be, and I just deal with it as I go, the more I expose myself to others, the more comfortable I become, and sometimes even enjoy it now.
I know of no herbs to help, but I use the treadmill a lot now in the morning and before bed, it helps me get rid of extra energy that might otherwise cause anxiety problems. Good luck.

How effective is aconitum for anxiety disorder?
I am a 51 yr. old woman with manic depression and anxiety disorder. In September of 08 I went off of all prescribed meds. because nothing was really helping me. My psych is monitoring me well and I've been doing much better using natural remedies; chamomile, st johns wort and some aromatherapy methods in addition to meditation, exercise and healthy diet. I am also menopausal.
I am a big believer in natural methods as well. I have had very good luck with my clients with St. John's Wort and various amino acids. In fact there is a website that offers a complete line of homeopathic remedies for symptoms such as anxiety, dysphoria, and attention deficit disorder. I have helped in the formulations of most of them. Many of my clients have benefited from it. Google ADD-care.
