Dr. Metcalfe has seen many cases of anxiety, and feels that the incidence is increasing and the onset is beginning at younger ages. There are many ways to treat anxiety, and it is important to rule out what is causing you to feel this way. You should keep a diary and record when you most feel anxious along with how much you’ve slept the night before and things that you’ve eaten. See if there are any obvious patterns, especially with lack of sleep and dietary stimulants. Try to deal with those things that make you anxious, and avoid or get rid of them in your life. However, in our busy society and with our hectic schedules there are many factors that are difficult for us to control, and we must turn to supplements to help support us to deal with it all.

Feelings of panic that generally last from a few minutes up to two hours.
Feeling of terror or impending doom, or that something bad will happen.
