Anxiety Disorders Can Be Conquered
"I had spent most of my life thinking that I must be crazy because I worried all the time, avoided social situations and had frequent panic attacks that became progressively worse. I finally got to the point that I just could not leave my house. I was relieved when I found out that I suffered from anxiety disorders and that they were treatable."
Janice is not alone. More than 25 million Americans suffer from anxiety disorders. While some degree of anxiety is normal, even beneficial, people who suffer from anxiety disorders are plagued with recurring episodes of intense crippling fear and they feel powerless to manage their symptoms.

Social Anxiety Disorder or Just Shy?
Do I have social anxiety disorder or am I just plain shy? I have been thinking about this for a year now and I'm not sure what to do. I have always been shy but I think that my shyness is something more serious.
A girl could tell me her name and it won't even come close to being remembered because the only thing I am thinking is "Is she interested in talking to me?" or "she probably thinks I'm an idiot."
It's funny, I won't shut up in front of people I know or in a setting where I know I will be funny or liked but the second you put me with a stranger, I can't communicate.

Anxiety Disorder and the Military
I have been in the military for many years now. I believe in what I do and service to the nation. With that being said I guess I am afraid that the military would not believe in me anymore if they found out the problem that I have.
I am to the point where I just don't want to hide it anymore and want some help, however I am afraid that once I expose myself that it will follow me in a negative way through the military even though I have dealt with it and worked with some of the toughest units in the military.
Does anyone have any idea how I could seek help and not be penalized or labeled for it? Is there doctor-patient confidentiality?

"Everything I read about the Clonazepam anxiety medication said that Clonazapam is used to treat seizure disorders and anxiety panic attacks. I had never had a seizure in my life so I couldn�t understand why this would be a good choice for me. I asked my doctor why he picked this particular medication."
Mike�s doctor explained to him that Clonazepam belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines, which act, on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. This calming effect can be very helpful in controlling panic attacks.
While some people have reservations about using medication to treat anxiety, there are millions of Americans who could not function in their daily lives without the assistance of medication.

How normal is it for my 18 month-old son to suddenly develop intense separation anxiety from mother, even when left with very familiar relatives (including father), even when he can see mom simply stepping away a moment?
This past weekend, I worked Saturday too. Could this be enough to explain the separation anxiety? Or should I look into other possible reasons to try to fix things?
Without knowing your child, but reading your question alone, he sounds absolutely normal! Many people are unaware that separation anxiety happens in two stages. The first bout of separation anxiety typically occurs around 5-8 months of age, the second occurs between 15-18 months of age. It is even normal for the second bout to occur all the way up to the age of 2.5 years old.

Anxiety Treatment for Doctor Visit
I'm 55, female, and when I go to the doctor's, and blood pressure is taken, I get anxiety and it shoots up. As soon as I leave the doctor's office I'm fine. Any help for anxiety treatment?
Deep breathing is a good anxiety relief: counting in for a count of six and out for a count of four - this is a good technique for calming yourself and your heart as it regulates your intake of CO2 and gives you something else to concentrate on.
Rescue Remedy is also fantastic if you need an immediate anxiety treatment - I swear by it in any stressful situation!
