How can I recover from panic disorder?!
Question: How can I recover from panic disorder!?
I've been bound to my house for the past year and a half for fear of the world outside due to panic disorder!. I want to know if it's possible to recover from it all and how!. I would really love to live life and pursue my musical ambitions, but with panic and depression plaguing me, I've gone nowhere!. For example, I took a four-block walk yesterday, and as soon as I saw the busy street and the loads of cars, I panicked!. However, I did not turn back, but since then, I've been shook up and can't stop thinking about it!.
Therapy couldn't help me since the therapist seemed to want to focus on my "supposed" issues with my mother, therefore, I was never prescribed medication!. Two years ago, however, I had recovered from panic disorder, but clearly it was temporary!. It was then that I had another therapist and was taking medication!.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to overcome this fear!? Or is it simply process of doing as I did yesterday and facing the fear despite the haunting feelings!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I am proud of you that you were able to walk so far from your home! Continuing to do that may help you feel more confident, but it is not necessarily a "cure!." I am wondering why you were so hesitant to talk about your mother with the therapist!. There are always underlying issues as to why these panic attacks occur, therefore, it may be helpful to explore all options!. You may have unconscious thoughts/beliefs, etc!. that is acting out in a form of anxiety!. If therapy and medication worked before there is no reason to stop it!? Try again!Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should find a therapist that specializes in panic disorders!. You could check with your physician for a recommendation!. Ask around, maybe someone is aware of someone who deals in this!. Open the yellow pages and start making calls-ask what they specialize in!.
A regular therapist will not be able to help you as quickly as someone who specializes in it!. Your issues with your mother may have something to do with your panic disorder or maybe it is inherited!. It could be deeply buried!.
