Half of us will experience a panic attack at some time in our lives. For those who do, the experience can be quite literally terrifying. For many the experience is so unpleasant that they avoid similar situations in future. Some develop disabling panic disorders and agoraphobia. At several times in his life - especially during a severe episode of mixed anxiety and depression, author Tim Watkins experienced disabling panic attacks. Then, quite by accident, he discovered a secret about panic attacks that led to recovery and to his never having a panic attack again. In this book, he sets out what he - and others - have learned about panic attacks, and how anyone can overcome them... permanently.
