Medications can and do help if you are able to take them (I am), but that is not enough, you need the tools and learned skills as well!. Dr!. David Bourne has an inexpensive book available on Amazon or Barnes called "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" that walks you though the CBT process!. You can use it on your own or in conjunction with seeing a therapist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son was diagnosed with this disorder when he was 13!. He's on paxil now and just deals with every day problems!. Just like the rest of us!. He gets stressed easily, but knows he has to slow down and take breathers (deep breaths) and relax!. I know it's hard, but you really have to push yourself!. People with this disorder have got to be one of the most bravest people I know!. Best of luck luv!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
