The Panic Diaries: The Frightful, sometimes hilarious truth about panic attacks

Book Description
There's nothing funny about panic attacks . . . or is there? As this problem reaches epidemic proportions in the U.S., two brave women journey to the front line in the battle against panic and return with stories of courage, anxiety, recovery, and just general craziness in a crazy world. Journalists by trade, panic attack sufferers by habit, the authors understand that panic disorder is like a haunted house - the only way out is through it. So they wrote a book that makes those panic ghosts and goblins a little less scary. Organized around first-person accounts, The Panic Diaries investigates what panic is, how people experience it, and how it's treated. The authors also interview some in-the-know people, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and natural health professionals, who offer treatments that are proven to help sufferers overcome their panic attacks.

Did your panic attack make you feel alone, confused, maybe even a little bit crazy? Ours did! But they also made us wonder: What the heck are panic attacks? What causes them and, more importantly, what can we do to stop them? As journalists by trade, we set out to get the facts and tell the story. Our journey took us from Greek mythology to modern technology and, quite frankly, we couldn't believe what we found... Lots of people have had panic attacks -- people like Sigmund Freud (yes, that Sigmund Freud) and Naomi Judd -- and about 26 million Americans. So we talked to them (well, not all of them) and recorded their panic stories along with our own. What we discovered was the frightful, sometimes hilarious truth about panic attacks.
