Controlling anxiety and panic attacks without medication?
Why is it that some people need medication to control their anxiety? Is it because the person is mentally not strong enough? Why do some people choose to press the panic button so quickly? Does anxiety go away as you get older and gain confidence and experience?
bottom, IMO you can control anxiety and panic attacks. I wouldn’t consider it a disease like diabetes.
Panic attacks can be treated without meds by slowing down your actions, breathing exercises, relaxation and most of all confidence in yourself.
The rampant misinformation and ignorance about the human mind is so vast that it’s sad. Do people with diabetes take insulin medication because they are too weak? There is neurological evidence of the difference between a normal brain and one that suffers an anxiety disorder.
EDiT: Like cholesterol problems that can sometimes be solved through exercise, it can’t always be solved without medication.
There is a reason why doctors go to med school and people like you sit around with unsubstantiated opinions.

have you ever suffered from an anxiety disorder???? You have no idea what its like, its not like we wants to take pills, but it gets that bad and it controls you life that well some times you just have to take them to be able to function properly.
My anxiety doesnt have to seem to have a reason, it just is. Ive had years of therapy as well.
My anxiety hasnt gone away as ive got older.

Most people suffer for years before they get help. It doesn’t get better it gets worse when you are older as you realise everything you try including medication doesn’t work.
