Panic/Anxiety disorder is a serious mental health condition that affects an estimated 1% of the U.S. population. The fact that its prevalence has remained steady over time, points towards a strong genetic causative link for this disease. The reason it is not brought to our awareness more often is the fact that sufferers often develop an avoidant behavioral pattern that severely restricts their social presence. There are several medical treatment modalities for this disorder, some employing pharamacologic agents (e.g. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRI's) and others using psychotherapy, although the most effective approach is oftentimes a combination of both. However, this disorder can also be approached alternatively; there is a multitude of holistic approaches for counteracting the effects of the spectrum of symptoms accompanying this disorder. You may be surprised to know that acupuncture, for example, has been tried successfully in many instances. There are also herbal remedies which have been shown to reduce the severity of symptoms of anxiety disorder. These herbs can be obtained without prescription and for a very low price from popular sites such as Amazon. Such herbal treatments for anxiety are: passion flower, valerian and kava. There are also special proprietary formulations of herbs on the market, such as Seredyn, which take advantage of the calming effects of many of these herbs. However, you should be aware that these natural remedies, although much less potent than drugs prescribed by clinicians, can have side effects such as drowsiness. Furthermore, since many of these products are not FDA-approved, they can have other unforeseen side effects, especially in patients on other medications. In other words, there might be drug interactions. For example, a otherwise innocuous herb such as St. Johns wort, which is considered a natural antidepressant, can interfere with the drugs taken by patients who have had e.g. a kidney transplant and lower their effectiveness! So you should always be cautious. As the old clinicians would say: "Whenever a drug is given, a risk is taken" Other techniques focus on the behavioral modification of the sufferer, using various feedback and hypnosis techniques, which are, as we know, very powerful. Before you scoff at hypnosis-based techniques, just think that hypnosis alone is utilized in major medical centers instead of anesthesia! Recently, I happened to come across one such biofeedback/self hypnosis-based technique that appears to be very promising and seems to be gaining increasing popularity among the general population.
