In reply to panic vs. psychosis ???, posted by linkadge on October 4, 2004, at 16:04:00
I too wonder about this. My doctor says i have "psycotic levels of anxiety" which manifests as a terror of the world( so much I have to hide behind the sofa), a feeling of being too deformed to leave the house and attacks of intense anxiety which make me need to escape the situation asap. He wants me on an antipsychotc but I dont want to take one- i cant tolerate the side effects.
Anyway, I refer to these attacks as ' anxiety attacks'. I dont know how accurate that is.D
