hi everyone, please dont think ive actually cracked up but do you think health anxiety or any anxiety infact is an actual disease? how can it be for 20 odd year you are fine then one day BOOMPH! your a full blown worrier! to the point of making yourself ill! an old friend (50 odd) who had suffered from anxiety for a few years had done some research into the fact that panic/anxiety was infact a disease and not a mental condition as such. would any one like to share their thoughts...
