I think i have some sort of anxiety disorder or I’m depressed or something. I’ve researched a lot about it and I have almost all of the symptoms/signs of the anxiety, but I’m not sure. I’m scared to tell my parents about it, so there any way that i could get tested or something without my parents knowing?
Well, here’s the thing about a psychiatric diagnosis- it’s not always accurate and labels you for the rest of your life. The only way to know for sure is by speaking with a psychiatrist. There is no way to diagnose yourself based off an online website, as you nor the source are qualified for such judgment. Anxiety disorders are often linked to Depression, as they both surround a lack of Seratonin in the brain. Many people, especially adolescents believe they have a disorder when its simply strong emotion fueled by an unstable period of time. Medication isn’t a panacea for emotional issue, it provides a stable environment in which you can cope and hopefully work through the cause. Basically, its a whole lot of work. If you believe you have some sort of chemical imbalance, then check it out. I recommend meeting with a therapist prior delving into psychiatry- as you will have a stable sounding board to work on the emotional aspect of coping with potential disorder.

Please tell me the quickest way to get over a anxiety attack.
Hey, How are you?
I'm almost a doctor…
Acid reflux (GERD) cannot cause an anxiety or panic attack. Some people genetically are more prone to get these attacks. Two ways to reduce them are to:
- Avoid the triggers that cause the panic attacks (irritating people) or to have calming people support you when ya have to face certain triggers (i.e. tests).
- If it goes on for months, and praying, avoiding triggers, and family/friends' support doesn't work, go to a psychiatrist, explain what happens, and they have EXCELLENT medications that will help.

I have been having panic attacks and I don't know if any of you have experienced them but they are horrible. I would not want anyone to have to go through them but I am having to. I have been taking medications. It's like anytime I leave home I get really light headed and the panic starts. Does anyone know of any reliable ways to stop panic attacks?
Yes i know were your coming from totally irrational fear of facing the world, been there for over 30 years.I think a lot of it is down to confidence, i have found that self confidence Tapes or CDs help somewhat. But i have learned to accept what i have to live with and not to try and fight it.

Loading: No, passing this song does not cure your panic attacks.
Okay, my third documented run. I’m actually going to start shooting for gold stars because I was about 20K within the cutoff. If only I didn’t make stupid mistakes. I would like to say again that I do not play this song very often because of all the other stuff I’m aiming for. Enjoy

If you know something or another on this subject, these are my specific questions:
Firstly, can you develop an anxiety disorder and then loose it or is it something your born with? Do people who take meds have an anxiety disorder? And how would you know if you had an anxiety disorder? All help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
You don't have to be born with an anxiety disorder. You can get anxious whenever. Also, sometimes you may not notice a struggle with anxiety until later in life. You don't just "loose" an anxiety disorder. It can be helped but it's never really lost. Certain things still may make a person anxious. Not everyone who take medications have an anxiety disorder. This DOES NOT mean that all people who take medications do not have an anxiety disorder. Anyone can. There are many different symptoms of anxiety; insomnia, repeated thoughts, fears of irrational things (ex: public restrooms, talking on the phone in public, etc.). The best way to find out is by going to a counselor or doctor.

I suffer from panic disorder which almost cripples me in the mornings. I am anxious about the coming day and I would like to find a website that would give me support and allow me to know I am not alone in what I go through. I would also like to know if anyone else that reads this suffers from something similar.
Go to www.panicsurvivor.com You could stay days on that site. Good Luck
