A MINOR irritation WTF

[Col]

Came accross (lookin on net for natural remedies 4 anxiety) & Just read an oldish article on mail online about, st johns wart.
Anyway apparently does nothing, after all these years of people taking it to help ease anxiety.
However magnesium- holds promise but passion flower, is meant to be very good but has side effects- some times????

Got down the article and quote- " the findings are important because, although anxiety is often dismissed as a minor irritation,In the long term it could raise the risk of heart attacks & stroke". Mail online 2010.

Who dismisses anxiety as a ' minor irritation ' - that's what I want to know?.
Is that what people really think?

Hope not, I think we should get GAD / panic attacks seriously on the map!
We should make the general public aware, how debilitating it can be!

No panic day , or something! Get employers thinking as well.
People loose jobs, careers and there families because of this awful awful condition. :buttkick:

Well col - I hav found st johns wort very helpful over the years - its somewhat annoying when you get some twit writing articles when they don't kno what there talking about what works for me may not be for you - as we r all individuals and balanced differently you hav to try different remedies that suits u best - and as for anxiety being a slightly irritating - like I said wrote by some clueless twit

Hi guys soo right what you've both said, soooooooo annoying & irritating !

Yep jojo, so right just unfortunate that, that twit gets paid! Vitabelle, no I don't know who wrote it I'll have a look again and see if it says who wrote the article but, it was on mail online I typed into google, natural medicines for anxiety & I looked down the 1st page page and scrolled down nd it was the - st johns wart mail online.

Could physically smack whoever that 'minor irritation ' comment came from.:grouphug:

It is frustrating that people think of anxiety as "no big deal," or just stress, but it is much more than that. It can totally incapacitate people and is awful. I wonder if there is an anxiety or panic awareness day.

Hi swgrl, I'm not sure if there is an anxiety awareness day! Surely if no one on here knows about it, they can't be.

We should set up one, might thread u thread also the more of us the better,like a petition , I'll pm and post an admin and ask Nicola if there is one already and if there is I'm gonna make sure it's more in the public domain xxxx
