Hi there
i've just logged onto this site. I have just read through the information and found it very useful. I had suffered from very severe panic 10 years ago. It was never properly diagnosed and instead i was told i had nervous depression.
I never really felt this was the case. I did have bad depression but it was because i didn't know what was happening to me. Eventually i spontaneously recovered after having attended various psychiatric centres blah blah blah.
Basically i gave up on finding medical help and eventually overcame the problem myself. I don't quite know how.
Unfortunatly 10 years later it seems to have come back with a vengence. Its very interesting reading the website information as everything that is said is what i have experienced from agrrophobia to alchohol dependence.
I can only say that the internet is incredibly powerful. When i initially experienced panic attacks back in 1987 i had no idea what was happening to me. I think i nearly went mad just from shear confusion. There was no resource like this around then and if doctors could not see your condition in terms of depression or psychotic illness it was difficult to be taken seriously.
I would be very interested to hear from anyone in the UK who feels they know what i should do next as i have only recently admitted that this illness has recurred in my life and am trying to work out how i can get effective medical help.
Thank you
Kieron
