Hi, Emma,
I would take the test offered here, print out the results and take it to your doctor.
This test will help your doctor diagnose your condition, and he will be better able to treat you. It sure saves time.
When I went to my doctor, I explained how I felt, and when, and exactly what it did to me, and how I felt about what was happening. I sure wish there had been a test like this one to aid in my diagnosis.
I am still being treated fo rthis disorder, but I have successfully reached the point of being able to drive again.
help is out there,,you have to be willing to take the time for yourself, and do the work. To be honest, it is worth every minute I spent on myself.
There are billions of people in this world with this disorder. We are just now recognising its symptoms and learning how best to treat it. They have also isolated some of the causes..which is great.
I have several types of panic disorder..one I was born with, one is from a car wreck, and one is from being abused.
As you can see, I have come far in my successful treatment, and I am proud of this.Do yourself and your husband a favor and take the advice I have given. Your doctor will know what to say to your husband. I am no doctor..just a fellow panic person.
Hope to hear from you about the doctors' visit.
