Anxiety and Panic Attack

Johnnie was diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks at the age of 25. He had been working in a fire station when he began to have an attack. A doctor told him that his symptoms were 'anxiety and panic' Johnnie then started taking antidepressants, but they didn't work. After seeing a mental health charity mind every couple of weeks for six months it became clear something needed to be done. CBT worked by helping Johnny deal with these feelings as well as dealing with other aspects of his life such as social pressure from family and friends.
