What the screaming girls probably didn't know was that the brothers in the band had demons they had to deal with. The point is, panic attacks and anxiety disorders can happen to anyone.
People need to understand this. Not the ones who are suffering, but the ones who think it's a fake illness or who think it's brought on by the sufferer. This is not an act. Nobody wants to be like this.
A Panic Attack On The Oprah Show
Jonathan Knight actually had a panic attack on the show. After he left NKOTB, he hid himself away and didn't want to get out of bed. He probably had depression, which is linked to panic.
His brother Jordan also had anxiety issues. Jordan started getting books and read up on his condition. He did the right thing. By educating yourself on your condition, it plays a big part in the recovery process.
Jordan eventually found out that his father also suffered from panic attacks. There is certainly evidence to suggest that anxiety disorders can run in families and passed on.
Panic Attacks Affect Women More Than Men
Panic attacks and panic disorder with agoraphobia tend to hit women more. Women suffer from this twice as much as men, but it can be harder for a man to have this and be accepted.
People in general will take this as a weakness in a man. They probably think it should be easier for a man to 'get over it'. It's a bit like crying. It's alright if a woman cries, but REAL men don't cry.
Panic attacks are treatable. Though it causes much anguish, the situation can be dealt with with great success. Today, there are so many methods of dealing with panic.
The obvious choice is to go to a doctor, but there are other alternative therapies available to treat panic attacks successfully. The road to wellness may not be easy, but it's certainly worth it.
