Different anxiety disorder now plagues America. Some may be in the form of GAD or generalized anxiety disorder, some may be the dreaded panic disorder, and other may be the obsessive compulsive disorder. There are other anxiety disorders with different names. Survey and statistics tells us the around 25% of adults in America suffer from anxiety disorders. The statistic with children is yet unknown.
If we are to line up and rank all the mental disorders known to man, at least, one in the top three would be panic attack. This is how feared panic attack is. Survey has it that more than four million Americans suffer from this disorder. It is so heart breaking to hear such a number suffer for so much but that is what is real. We cannot escape it and w cannot even run away from it. Living a life with panic attack for those who suffer is considered half life. They do not live half as what is expected to.
