Unfortunately...that FIRST episode was a pre-cursor of things to come.
I have,since the mid 90's experienced panic attacks, agoraphobia and depression.
At first I tried "toughing it out"...not realizing that as I aged my condition grew worse.
After a few years and a couple PDocs kept saying
I should try and AD...did I begin taking Zoloft and Xanax. As with these and other Meds, there are good and bad sides..but at least I know that there is a chemical and heridity component to depression and anxiety.
Like many...at first I thought I was the ONLY one
in the world feeling "different".
Now with age, research, the Internet, etc...the
whole subjext is being brought more out in the open.
One day perhaps the entire stigma of mental disorders and chemical imbalances will be accepted
just as other physical illnesses.BF
