Press Release Summary = It\'s estimated that panic and anxiety disorders affect about
40 million Americans each year. Almost no medical help can be found to treat this
dreadful condition.

Press Release Body = (EWM/BEI News) Oct. 29, 2006 -- Panic attacks occur when the
brain\'s normal mechanism for reacting to a threat - the famous \"fight or flight\"
response - becomes inappropriately aroused. An anxiety attack involves unpredictable
feelings of fear and severe panic symptoms in the body that may last from minutes to
hours.

This mysterious condition can strike anyone at any time... You might be on vacation
with your family when it first hits. Your chest heart starts pounding in so hard
that you can feel it pulsing up into your neck. You sense as though you are receding
into a tunnel and think \'I\'m having a heart attack.\' Your wife rushes you to the
E.R., and for several hours you go through test after test. EKG, EEG, blood tests,
you name it. Finally, the doctor seats on the stool examining the results, looks at
you and your wife and says something you\'ll never forget: \"There\'s nothing wrong
with you that I can find. Maybe it was just a panic attack..."

Mild forms of anxiety can be produced by a stressful event such as speaking in
public or even a first date. At this level, the feelings may fade right after the
event has finished. On the other hand, with panic attacks the anxiety feelings can
last for 6 months and they may get worse if they are not treated timely.

Also, anxiety can be triggered by a simple act or memory that has no relation to
where you are. There are small symptoms that are common to any of us. However, our
stress-filled lives can take us into higher levels of tension and restlessness. it\'s
when these emotions repeatedly occur that they can turn into a panic attack.

For people who suffer from panic disorder there are other things that need to be
treated as well. Depression and alcoholism are some of the accompanying issues.
Occasionally, panic attacks can spawn phobias as well.

If you suffer from an anxiety panic disorder you already know how debilitating it
can be. To that end, a panic disorder sufferer has to either learn to cope with
their condition or to find a fitting cure.

Where is that cure you may ask? Some patients have found relief by exploring the
realm of natural remedies; others made progress by applying strategic therapies.
Like with everything, family support has proven to be important; the genuine
affections of family members has greatly helped the panic disorder victim to
recover.
