Generalized Anxiety Disorder

- Generalized Anxiety Disorder remains the most prevalent psychiatric disorder. Symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder include a sense of unease, dread or foreboding along with excessive, unrealistic worry. Other common complaints of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder include the feeling of muscle tension, impaired concentration, insomnia and restlessness.
Complicating the diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder are irritability, sweating, trembling, headache and gastrointestinal issues. Many individuals seek care for these non-specific somatic symptoms rather than their unrecognized anxiety issues. As a result, they may undergo medical evaluation and receive therapy for their presenting complaints rather than the true underlying causative psychiatric condition.
Further compounding the problem with diagnosis, most of those with Generalized Anxiety Disorder also suffer with a number of other psychiatric maladies ranging from panic attacks to depression and social anxiety disorder. The presence of somatic issues and other psychiatric disorders complicates timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder attacks women twice as frequently as men. Symptoms tend to begin in men in their early 20s while the onset tends to be delayed in women until their late 20s. Another smaller peak occurs in older individuals. African Americans appear more likely to suffer from depression when compared to Caucasians.
Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy or more customarily an SSRI or SNRI. While the benzodiazepines effectively mute symptoms, these drugs including Xanax, Ativan and Klonipin currently are out of favor with the government and professional organizations. In spite of this patients and doctors alike often favor drugs commonly referred to as “benzos.”
Totally agree with you. I have dealt with anxiety and depression for about 40 years. It's terrible trying to find a good physician.
There are no "good physicians". None of them know what causes GAD and none of them have an effective method of treating the problem. But they will take your money nevertheless.
Most GPS like the easy life, they don't understand anxiety & depression so they fob you off with antidepressants that don't work. My GP is still hiding under his desk from the covid scare.
Agree Roy.
Tell me bout that one!
@@roypryer7358 damn... I assume you live somewhere in America ?
The way my anxiety disorder comes out is like this.
I am sitting in a situation that should be relaxing, a day off, road trip with my family, a nice dinner with my wife or even being at work sometimes. And I cannot help but feel as though something bad is going to happen or that I forgot something or some other nagging feeling. Everything is okay, I should be relaxed, but I am sitting there constantly worried about nothing in particular.
Try Amitriptyline 12.5 and Chlordiazepoxide 5 mg combo..very good
Hey, that's me...
@@Fortunately8 I can't have benzos. Love em too much
Cathartic to see I'm not alone in this. It's a miserable life even though it's relatively normal. I hope there is a good medication eventually, I've been trying for a decade plus now with no good meds
@@Bishiboshii my brother. I'm convinced that medicine is not the answer. I think eating healthy and getting good sleep and having a hobby goes so much farther than meds
Really enjoyed this video,you are very honest very genuine person with a lot of empathy for sufferers of this condition.
Wow..great listening to someone with life-experience, combined with an in-depth medical Knowledge and speaking without a "script!" Many thanks..
I thinkmhes reading it. Or going by notes on a teleprompter in front of him. This is not off " the top of his head"
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. You provide so much helpful information, and I am very grateful for your videos.
@ShelleyReneeC 😭
@ShelleyReneeC oh no 😭
I love your videos Dr Landow as you totally explain the disorder and treatments for it. I find them very educational!
This good man passed away-he will be missed.
I take Buspar 3 times a day and it's helped tremendously keeping the constant anxiety, and intrusive unwarranted thoughts. I also have Xanax for panic disorder. I am very careful with it, though, because of how addictive it is. Between these 2 drugs, eating well, sleeping well and exercise I'm doing much, much better.
Very happy to hear this, I am planning to go with buspare, what dosage you take, and how long time taken to see results?
@@msadmin3314 I take 15mg 3 times a day. That's the highest daily dose I believe. I started lower and tweaked it over about a month to find the dosage that worked best. I'd say it took 6 weeks for me to start feeling better.
@@irishman4671 Good. What other medicines you take with buspar?
@@truehuman9449 I take Xanax as needed up to 2mg a day, but I don't use it everyday because its so highly addictive. I'm also on an antispasmodic medication for a spinal issue.
@@irishman4671 it does take a while to do it. I will say about Busperone. Like the 3rd day my sexual life got 5x better. I'm 34 and I feel like 19 again. As for the psychological thoughts it gets better but it takes a while. I am starting to point out to myself on why I am getting so hostile or why are you worried about that? Or yeah that sucks but what can I do to get around this. It's awesome but it takes a while to really feel it's full effect. The sex part however took about a day. 😄😉 Placebo effect or not that was awesome.
Crazy thing is, your videos, hearing you speak or something, calms my anxiety, so please keep the amazing videos coming, wish u were my Doctor.
such an amazing video! It is a lifelong journey, but it can be helped. Glad I found your channel.
You have unbelievable knowledge and can really have the knack in conveying that. I wish my GP's and Psychiatrists were like you. I had to find all that knowledge after years of GAD and MDD doctors and meds trials. I am functioning but can't work due to those conditions. Thanks for all your wisdom, it helps alot.👍😎🇦🇺
what do you do if you don't work? i barely function at work but i can't just say i can't work unless i want to be homeless. not joking
@@mattmarkus4868 I am lucky I have a supportive wife and family to look after me. Depression keeps me in bed about 20hrs a day. I only leave the house to go to the doc and the chemist for meds.
Anxiety is also bad and I have emphysema and a bad heart and liver so I'm always out of breath. I have sleep aponea and insomnia and other physical issues so all of them combined make me unable to work.
I'm going for more tests and possible treatments but if they don't work I may get a formal disability assessment.
My time is spent on UA-cam and ebay with my only interest in lock collecting. I trade locks with a small group of people around the world. I even struggled alot to do that. I hope I get well enough to maybe do part time work one day.
@@DonzLockz good to hear. Wish you the best
My insomnia, anxiety, depression and fatigue is making it really difficult to even hold down a part-time job. I barely have enough energy to cook and clean for myself.
@@00BeesKnees00 I fully understand. I have some improvement with TMS, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. It was mostly covered by Medicare but I still had to pay the difference and cost me about $2400. It was worth it but may need ongoing t sessions after the Intitial 35 sessions.
Keep at it day by day. Wishing you the best.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of good treatments for GAD. If you don't respond to SSRIs, you really have few options. Buspirone is hit or miss, doctors don't like to use benzodiazapines. What's left, hydroxyzine? Many patients end up self medicating because they're not getting adequate relief.
Gabapentin or Pregabalin
God bless you Dr Landow, your descriptions were and are the best on youtube, in depth and in mastery over the materials
I've watch a few of your videos now and you are incredibly articulate and helpful in thinking about the subject matter that you cover. Thank you!
Some of it comes from the stress of chronic child abuse.
The person develops learned helplessness, and other problems.
😭
Yes
Absolutely
Exactly correct!
Happened to me abusive ass baby daddy
Not sure.. what if the child learned helplessness because they already had undiagnosed anxiety
Wow! Such a comprehensive video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!!!
Usually I have anxiety at night, fearing that I won't get a good night's sleep because of the previous night.
I did experience that also but there is a remedy that was introduced to me by a colleague of mine to use natural remedies that can build and repair the nervous system and give me a good recovery from anxiety and insomnia, i micro dosed on psychedelic mushroom and got the best results

Thank you Dr. ken , your channel is became my trustful ref. Before starting any medication 🙏 very grateful for you 😊
That's my whole life..my childhood was awful..adulthood no better..I have done everything to stop the pain ..I just need to live for me ..and live alone ..That's when I am at my best
I can really relate to that feeling... sometimes my best place is just a dark corner all by myself and then I feel better
Thank you for these!
hey doc could you make a video on PTSD? your videos are really incredible., my attention span is not great but your videos always make me listen till the end
Dr has died
@@szwedzkiPL phuck really!?
@@harness84_29 straight up, look up Dr Kenneth Landow of Las Vegas obituary. He'll be missed RIP
What was his cause of death ?
I love this video. I wish I could have this man treat the gad I feel
Social Anxiety particulary ruined my life and left me disabled, and proceeded the depression and anhedonia the doc mentions here. Unfortunately my country refuses anxiolytics as longterm treatment, despite my never having had substance abuse issues, which in my opinion is an overly cautious sentiment and the addictive nature of benzodiazepines is highly overestimated (imo)
The doctor won't prescribe me lorezepam unless if I'm highly desperate.
I was on that stuff for years off in one day NO PROBLEM AT ALL !!! The worry was that now i have to be back to the inner shakey mind fear i had. That's the problem coming off only. But my daughter stayed with me and she was loving so i was fine.
Been on benzos 30 years. I was told I would never have to worry about getting them. Strange new world where they want every one to feel nothing with replacing them with antidepressants. We the people should have more say in and about our medications. Lobbying for big pharma is destroying us. .
@@lyndayates7533 it's not good not to feel but it's also not good to feel debilitated by anxiety, which can be equally life wrecking. do the benzos help you, or are you just taking them to prevent withdrawals now?
@@tpl6963 they gave me 6 1 mg with the quetiphine 600mgs. The quetiphine was lowered to 400mgs. I was dropped as a patient the same day I had my first pancreas attack. Felt like I was giving birth to all 5 of my children at once.
I was told to stop the quetiphine as it was causing my pancreatitis. I was given it again for pain from pancreas attacks. Makes no sense I know but the pain was that bad and I used it to sleep through the night as my Dr would not give me anything for pain.
After my GB removal I was told by my Dr not to take psych drugs. I've studied them for years and I'm old enough to know better. They mostly target the young now days thinking happy is in a pill. So sad.
Been on nearly every SSRI, benzo and SNRI on the book, ultimately Adderall is what helped my anxiety. It helped quiet my mind and get things together. Been on it many years and was very reluctant to take any stimulants knowing my anxiety history..but it really has helped so much. I also work out and eat well. I took Seroquel once for anxiety and it was by far the worst experience of my life. I know some people have success from different meds but it was truly terrifying. Great video. Thank you!
I took a tiny pinch and konked out for 4 hours. That serequel is too much weirdness. Sleeping that quick is not what we want.
adderall and klonopin are the no.1 drugs for almost all forms of anxiety in my opinion, two completley different feelings but they work the best, almost impossible to get these drugs in my country yet doctors will gladly prescribe beta blockers, non-benzodiazepines // SNRIs // sleeping pills etc. without even properly getting to know their patient. Make sure you don't ruin what you got there because I've been trying for so long to get the meds I KNOW work for me and i've had no luck. Up again all night with insomnia to call my GP in the morning to let him know the propranolol i was prescribed for severe panicking, muscle cramps and intense anxiety does nothing but make my damn feet cold and chest tight.
Same stimulants helps tremendously but crash is very bad for me how you Handel adderall crash
Sounds like you were misdiagnosed. Most likely you had ADD in the first place which caused the anxiety symptoms. The opposite happened to me.
Thanks for the info, after talking with doctors and watching tons of stuff, seems like mood and psychopathy are the main things especially with my aspergers. I know now to stay away from anti anxiety and anti depression meds
Please make a video on irritable bowel syndrome and Antidepressants antipsychotic use
I also had IBS,
10 years its was hell
Is it caused by the medicines?
I've been dealing with GAD and panic disorder for 12 years... it literally makes life so difficult... I cant go into big open public areas/ restaurants/stores without freaking the f**k out.... really really bad. So I started drinking before social events/ restaurants/churches/airport to relieve the panics and it always helps.. i forgot to drink and went to a myseum and had a really bad episode a couple weeks ago and my sister noticed.... she set me up with a doctor and i was diagnoses, im 3 days into treatment... I take escitalopram/lexapro daily and I take knolopin for the bad panic attacks... im hopeful to get better.... good luck everyone who struggles
I have it real bad but my daughter stayed with me when i went off in one day. Coming off was nothing. Worrying and shaking alone was the problem, so daughter was right here and it was aaaalll ok. Smashed tons of magnesium..
All that stuff was a non stop praying to God every second. Nothing took it til my daughter was kind.
I noticed nothing works like Klonopin.
I did experience that also but there is a remedy that was introduced to me by a colleague of mine to use natural remedies that can build and repair the nervous system and give me a good recovery from anxiety and insomnia, i micro dosed on psychedelic mushroom and got the best permanent results with great sleeping patterns

Thank you
amazing work, doc.
I’ve had it since I was 14, I’m now 27.
I was able to cope for about 6 years but now I am housebound with agoraphobia :’(
Well me everything went to shits for me after high school 18 now im 39 couldnt go to college after high school I had H pylori 7 times GAD now Bipolar
Also in 2003 I went to the mayo clinic they told me i got agoraphobia
@@Fortunately8 better to find a GOOD SHRINK MD FOR THIS!
@@MikeyBAAZ I had H Pollari too. I noticed the connection with depression and stomach issues. Was agoraphobic for two years. Zoloft and Cymbalta helped. Probiotic and papaya enzyme pills for my stomach. Good luck to you.
I have noticed myself becoming agoraphobic lately with GAD. Not to mention I work home now. Have you found any medicine that helped yet?
He gives a globe-shaped view and thus he is a brilliant doctor and teacher. Very well organized speach (a cappella)!!! BIG BRAVO and THANK YOU!!!
Had depression.. took SSRI’s. But my general anxiety lingered. Was prescribed Ativan. Cool, heart palpitations on the way to work.. by the time the benzo kicked in, problem gone and now need to sleep. Had to have something to prevent the anxiety. Been on Citalopram for about 10 yrs. Panic attacks are acute. But daily an anxiety is a whole other beast. I’m a chill person so when I get a rash or light headed I know it’s that verses that I’m dying
You are an encyclopaedia and I appreciate you so much!! 💕
My anxiety started when I was a child very very young maybe seven or eight
I've just started a new job and am PETRIFIED of messing up. My heart rate now don't seem to wanna calm down, not a panic attack...more kinda prolonged. Just took a beta blocker to calm it a bit which my gp did say I could do if needed. Seems just lately that this thing may be getting more frequent...and that's while on meds. Tbh I thought once I was on these things may be easier. I also have diazepam in case I get REALLY bad. Also I went over the Prince of Wales bridge from Wales into England months ago....and inside I completely freaked out.....heart rate increased, hands all sweaty...it was AWFUL..and of course I had no choice but to carry on driving..........and this was all because my perception of the bridge was that it was SUCH an OVERWHELMINGLY HUGE site, REALLY TALL AND HIGH..out in the open that my system just couldn't cope with it. Hell I can't even do a long distance driving job coz I just can't cope with being miles n miles out of my comfort zone. I may not have other issues that may be much worse, but the way it affects me personally....is TERRIBLE!!! And to top all this off my bloody ocd don't help either....having to keep repeating things til my mind is satisfied that they are done
Same here started 50 years ago. Atenolol, Paxil and Klonopin 25 years ago gave me my life back. For the last 7 years just been on 5mg Valium 1-2 times a day and Atenolol 25 mg a day. The Afib and palpations went away and the panic attacks left. Still worry to much but nothing close to panic attacks and Afib.
I was diagnosed with General anxiety panic disorder in 2004. Not to down play other issues of everyone in here but I wish my issues were external "worry about going outside or social functions being around other people "or worrying about trivial shit to the point you may have panic attacks. There are still people out here thousands of people who saw or forced to watch a certain movie starring linda Blair in the 70's that totally mind fucked people. I was a little boy forced to watch that shit. And that has become an issue for me even though I know the truth. The what ifs or the could or couldn'ts....no satisfactory answer or certainty. Thats the shit I gotta deal with every day. Its so ridiculous yet can be paralyzing.
Yes that movie messed my mum up, apparently there was 2 ambulances outside the cinema to treat the traumatised people.
That movie I watched at age 4. It traumatized me too
A movie gave you panic disorder?
Would you have any comment (s) about one that has been diagnosed by their doctors and state doctors with Acute anxiety, stress, panic disorder with grave emotional disorder?
I cant breathe i feel i will suffocatr, i feel i am not in my body, i cant sleep, i get like electroshocks in my head, arms, but all that i could deal with. But the worst is that i have diarhea and gas and this happens only when i have to see people, i cant go to concerts, hospitals courts, work. Its been like this for 6 years and i have enough...i lost my job because i wasnt sociable enough. I cant be social if i just fart and poo all the time i really dont know what to do...

Doctors where I live refuse to prescribe busprion or Ativan type medications. Even though SSRI’s have failed to work for me for years after trying many different ones. I’ve tried them on and off since I was 16. I’m 40 now.
They offered me electric shock therapy sessions instead. I’d rather hold my head under water at this point.
I been see a psychiatrist since 2008 I still get this crazy panic attacks
I deal with attacks weekly and they are the worst thing ever.... very very extreme
How are you now mate have you felt any physical symptoms like gastrointestinal problems etc i am really scared i am in my twenties and i don't wanna live like a patient @Gman737e
Absolutely vibing out to that theme tune
I’m 70 years old and I just took a Klonopin to calm me down from biting my fingernails. When I was young, I had to take a pill before I ate because I threw up all the time. I was very very thin and I used to wet the bed all the time I’ve had a horrible life.
I like this doctor. Unfortunately in previous video he was praising how great Meratazapin is. Sometimes he can be confusing.
@Akkszz most antidepressants are addictive
It has helped my insomnia and weight gain from arfid
I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder and general anxiety disorder 🥴 🙃 it sucks .ITS A CURSE 💯🥴😵🥴😟🤪🤪😵🥴😟😟🤯😒😒🤯
Apparently a lot of people have adhd, autistic spectrum disorder and bipolar,, and other illnesses,, at the same time, and also take a long time to diagnose,, IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO IS OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH SEVRAL DISORDERS,,!!?? IME JUST INTERESTED AND CURIOUS!!
Comorbidity in psychiatry is very common. I have bipolar, panic disorder and probably ADHD. I read a meta-analysis study a while back that said 40% of people with bipolar also have an anxiety condition.
In fact if you have bipolar with no other mental health issues, you are the exception not the rule.
Of course. I am diagnosed with ADHD, depression, GAD and panic disorder. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.
I had a nervous breakdown 2008, spent 6months in hospital, discharged wrongly then another 6months, i was on prozac, onley,, they tried me on loads of meds that didn't work,, then finally, they. Put me on sodium valporate, temporarily, amitripytaline,and serequel, was discharged,, 2009, i new it was bipolar,, was stable for 12 years, ironically, 2020 was a great year, then bang, February 2021, it came back again, out of the blue, but felt worse, just avoided hospital, THANK GOD!! Ime still not right like, up and down. Doc give me lamotrigine, to stable the ups and downs,BEEN on diazepam, and zoplcone, on off, but the lamotrigine did nothing, anxiety cripples, u young or old, it's debilitating,,my parents are more active, than me, and there in there mid seventies,,anyway.ive been prescribed pregabalin, week ago, then does, es go up, its a permanent medication, funny thing is Ken put a video on about pre gabalin,, it was only 15mins long, which is short., for him,, some people I know are on it and say its a good drug for anxiety, it blocks nerve recepters in the brain, which causes pain, and nerves,early days now, then dos, es go up gradually,,ime guna watch the video,, kens view on pregabalin, again, cos he was a bit, qiuet, not like him, ANYONE OUT THERE ON PREGABALIN!!??
Sorry, I forgot to mention, it was bipolar 2, wot I was diagnosed with, about time, I also have 3 appointments coming up, cos the doctor reckons I have the traits for autism spectrum disorder,, apparently a % of people with, bi polar, have it,, and also adhd, as well, anyway, it's early days for pregabalin, on a low dose,, then it double,s, 3days time,not sure about after that, mite go up again,, i have to admit,, i have been feeling a bit calmer,, and had less pain, past 3,,4 days,, fingers crossed need to to be on an even keel,,cos I've had 8 months of pain,,suicidal thoughts, the lot, ,the 24,7 crisis team were slow,,not very sympathetic, awful actually, I walked out on them lastnite, cos of there ATTITUDE STUNK,told them to get lost,, THE ONLEY WAY TO SPEED THINGS UP AND GET, THEM ALL, TO. TAKE THINGS SERIOUS, WAS CALLING THE POLICE,, COS I SAID I WAS GUNA KILL MYSELF, AND THE CRISSIS TEAM LITERALLY SAID GO AND DO IT,, I WAS BLUFFING BY THE WAY, AND THEY SEEMED TO DOUBLE BLUFF ME, BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW ME FROM ADAM,,HOW DID THEY KNOW I WAS BLUFFING,, ANYWAY, HOPE THE PREGABALIN, WILL START TO WORK AS THE DOSE GOES UP!!??
Benzodiazepines make my anxiety worse. The only thing which has helped is exercise, good diet, good sleep. Also train yourself to realize when you are feeling anxious. Understand it, and move on. “Keep swimming” as that fish would say. Dory or Nemo
@@sallysailor5642 🙏🏼 good to hear that brother
Sadly only benzo helps me but doctors won't prescribe due to past addiction issues 😢
helpful info i'm currently on 60 mls of cymalta for depression and anxiety for 2 years can't say i'm a fan of this drug i still get regular episodes of attacks would like to try another drug but gp talked me out of it love your helpful talks it breaks down any general concerns or questions one may have that quite often my doctor has no clue about👍⭐️
cymbalta increases anxiety because it also effects the Norepinephrine...with the serotonin....Id try something for just serotonin and Lorazepam in small doses
I've been suffering for decades with all this. Anxiety wakes me up and is terrifying. Doctors have prescribed almost every typr of SsIR, beta blockers, lyrica and nothing works, nothing helps with the muscle pain or constant worry. In the emergency room last night I get a script of 10 oxazepam 15mg, my god, instant relief and I get a good night sleep. Finally now I have an appointment with a psychiatrist. I feel like in on the right path now.
Did you find a solution?
Don't get chemically dependent on Benzo"die"azepines. You will be sorry. Worst withdrawals of any drug. It can kill you easily.
Noradrenaline reuptake inhibition can mess with your heart rhythm as well
One condition where doctors or better yet psychiatrist opinion and e xperience really count.Very difficult because so hard to pin down with so many related mental conditions.You did a great job with such a difficult diagnosis.🤔
To summarize: Nothing works long term. So, buckle up, buttercup.
Why doesn’t Buspiron work if you have previously taken a Benzodiazepine? Does Victan count as a Benzodiazepine? I know it’s a derivative
People that have anxiety that take medication are they able to be active go to the gym etc. etc.?
After all these years they still haven’t came up with a long term solution for this severe anxiety disorder? It’s sad. Benzos work so good but they don’t want to hand any of them out. Smh. I feel so helpless

I have panic attacks daily and anxiety all day long I used to have Ativan and Clonopin now Kaiser has decided that those are bad drugs taking them away from everyone and now I’m in pure hell if I’m not having a panic attack I’m terrified one’s going to come on benzodiazepines stops them in their tracks and provides quality of life for someone like me but Kaiser doesn’t care at all they will not give me anything because they’ve decided that all benzodiazepines are bad
Bebzos are the only thing that actually make it go completely away....
Find a good shrink online do Zoom meetings with them
The doctor's who don't prescribe benzos probably take them for themselves and tell everyone else they can't have them because they know they're the one drug the top tier drug that works
6mg of ativan a day
ur so much help!!
That and listen to him talk will Zzzz lol 🤣 to cure anxiety LAUGHTER. PEACE
Or maybe you were raised by anxious parents that taught you how to be an anxious person.
Your parents were raised by anxious parents and on and on.
This I can relate to more than the vid, even though my parents didn't deliberately teach me to be anxious, it just happened
Amen...
GAD is a clinical disorder, not just being "an anxious person". To try and demean it by suggesting it's a very simple behavioral issue is disingenuous at best, very harmful at worst.
@@nutshang That was not my intention. I struggle with GAD.
Buspiron or Lyrica wich is better when suffering with Gad.
FINALLY i gots what your talking about
Doctor I just listened to your video of "Depression The Basics" and you mentioned we have no way of knowing why the depression is, Do you know or think anything about the testing of Doctrs Data?They measure the neurotransmitters through urine to help the doctor know what the deficiencies are. I also have the MTHFR gene which causes my body to not be able to use the neurotransmitters I have naturally occuring. THis was a Genesite testing. Can you please let me know what you think.I have been diagnosed with MDD and GAD>,
How do you know about mthfr gene?
God, i relate to all of this, was diagnosed with GAD last year, still coping with it but making some progress with the help of Cognitive Behaivour Therapy, is hard but will help in the long term.
Teracy, b4 coming to this vid I found one explaining about a slightly different type of cbt....meta something behavioural therapy or something like that...it was a long word but the form of therapy itself is said to be better
The anxiety started at the age of 33 with a panic attack, I have spent 24 years of my life in this brutal suffering, I have tried all the antidepressants, nothing works, only clonazepam helps me a little, my life is ruined, my self-esteem is low. the ground, not even God listens to me, I have tried to brainwash myself by telling myself a thousand times that I should trust, suffering 24/7, nothing makes me happy, I feel hopeless, my doctor doesn't even want to see me, the only hope for me now is to take propanilol to test if you can block the fight or flight adrenaline pattern, this symptom occurs especially in the mornings.
It's not worth living like this, it's too much suffering! bestial!! I would like to do so many things, projects, find a boyfriend, travel, enjoy a simple walk! I want to be happy again, i was athletic, but doesn’t work nothing,,but 24 years of my life have already passed and I am exhausted, I don't know if the doctor has compassion and gives me propranolol at least to see if it works, im dying inside, I don't see a way out, die and rest maybe... ..😞
How are you holding up these days? Your comment was heartfelt, I can relate
@ juste suffering.
I feel the same. No zest for life. But I’m not giving up.
I'm always worried anxious angry etc always think I have something wrong etc insomnia
I have a generalized anxiety disorder plus PTSD and I’m bipolar type two
I don't feel safe in this U.S. healthcare system. I'm terrified. Just that gives me anxiety
Yes I totally agree 💯
Amazing
Has anyone here tried TMS therapy? A lot of doctors claim that it is the most brilliant and effective one without almost any side effect and they also claim that it works very fast and extremely effectively. One of them claimed once that all of his patients who have undergone this treatment are extremely satisfied with the results now. I haven't tried it yet due to the reason that it's a little expensive. Of course, way more expensive than medications. Anyhow, some doctors highly recommend this therapy.
Pseudo-science, it is garbage.
This is me..
I think Ketamine is the future of bipolar, depression, and GAD im not a doctor but i know Ketamine can help a person the nasal spray
Well watching this UA-cam presentation triggered me and now I’m freaking out. I have to turn the phone off.

He has passed away
