Panic Attacks - Anxiety Symptoms

Are any of these experiences familiar to you?

• Maybe you found yourself in the hospital's ER because you thought you were having a heart attack only to be told later it was anxiety?
  
  
• Do you ever fear you might stop breathing because your chest feels tight and your breathing erratic?
  
  
• When you drive do you fear the idea of getting stuck in traffic, on a bridge or at red lights?
  
  
• Do you ever feel nervous and afraid you might lose control or go insane?
  
  
• Have you struggled with anxious thoughts that will not stop?
  
  
• Do you ever feel uncomfortable in enclosed spaces such as supermarkets, cinemas, public transport or even sitting at the hair dressers?
  
  
• Are you nervous and on edge in normal situations that never bothered you before?

YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ILLNESS!

          Your anxiety, panic attacks, phobias and obsessive-compulsive behavior are NOT caused by mental or physical illness!

          You do NOT need to take drugs. You do not need to suffer their side effects or expense.

AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

          Approximately 6 million American adults ages 18 and older, or about 2.7 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have panic/anxiety disorder.
