[QUOTE="klmno, post: 321172, member: 3699"] My mom is like that- she has some very serious issues that exhibit themselves in panic attacks, which anxiety is a family trait. BUT, all she will do is take anti-anxiety medications and that won't really help her deal with deaper issues or teach her how to handle anxiety better. I was lucky with the therapist I had years ago- she wasn't anti-medication, especially if the underlying problem was an issue like BiPolar (BP) or other need requiring a medication, but she did stress that if a behavior is the symptommatic problem and there is an underlying problem that IS NOT something like a psychiatric disorder (chemical imbalance in the brain), then rx's from a psychiatrist is not the BIG answer. But seruously, as long as any kind of medication or addictive behavior is in the works, an accurate diagnosis is unlikely. [/QUOTE]
