How Can A Silent Killer Be Undetected...

Does anyone have any experience of this or anything that has helped? I have a close relative that is having major problems and nothing seems to help and they are reluctant to start taking drugs on which they could become dependent on.

I was diagnosed with Anxiety last year, it's awful. A lot of it was because of my neighbours.. but that's a different story lol.
I was put on a low dosage of anti-depressent and it just took the edge off enough for me to learn to deal and cope with what was happening to me. My hubby became ill earlier this year and I forgot to take my tablets for a few days what with one thing and another, I discovered that I didn't feel like I needed them and haven't taken any since.
I understand that your relative sounds like they are worse than what I was but there are some practical exercises they could try to help them deal with this. The doctor should have a help sheet which teaches you to look at the way your thinking differently. Also seeing a councillor may be of benefit as talking thru the way you feel about things to a stranger can sometimes help you to look at situations differently.
All the best, I know it isn't easy to watch a loved one be in distress like this because it is hard to understand how someone can think such things so unrationally. God the way I used to worry over such stupid, stupid things and make myself ill over it! I can't believe I used to be like that!
I was signed off work with Anxiety and I refused pills from the GP aswell as they only mask the problem and don't get to the source of it. It would be like stickin an elastoplast on a broken arm! I got my GP to refer me to a hypnotherapist or an EMDR therapist. They did some great work and then I paid for some private treatment and within a month my attacks stopped. I recommend hypnotherapy to anyone. :o)
