How many cured?
Question:
My first panic attack was 6 years ago. 99% of the time, I don’t even feel like I have anxiety, and It’s been over 3 years since I have had an attack. I still have times when I feel bad, but they are rare now. I’ve learned relaxation methods, and to focus on something else, which helps alot. I wouldn’t say I am cured, but I can say that I feel like I am in control. Kristina

Hell, I was probably 18th in line – always a day late and a dime short…lol! smiles, Elise

Hi Sunil, i’d say that i’m about as cured of anxiety/panic and aggoraphobia as i’m ever going to be. There was no one thing that cured me, just a lot of different things that all came together and made a difference. I’m a med phobic so i had to do it without drugs so it was mainly a mixture of councelling/CBT, making contact at asap with other sufferers who had the same symptoms as me, a change of attitude towards life in general and exercise. Good luck and best wishes, Kenny.

I’ve never heard of anyone being cured of a chronic anxiety disorder. Managed well, yes. Chip

Some as high as the high 90% recovered some within the continuum to around 80% and some smaller populations down to the 70% range all contained within a matrix of sub percentiles. 100% recovery being no longer bound by any anxiety issues and lesser percentages determined by some residual issues or environmental, proximal, territorial, or autogenetic in nature. So the person who is so riddled with anxiety and cannot function beyond a gas of 50 can move incrementally to a 60 and have one or two remaining troublesome areas of anxiety that may or may not be attenable to further treatment at this time in their life, may in a future period be self dissoluting, or may be treated later on by reduction in some ateliosis of ones emotional development. Atopic anxiety is difficult to measure so these findings are really just observational. If the customer is satisfied-then it works.
Don’t you just love it when LM talks dirty?…<just kidding xxoo Rita

You *know* that should be 18. I find it most unpleasant that you left that one person out, I’m sure you did it on purpose

Thank you all for your replies. Margrove says: <<In 26 years I have seen approx 5,200 or so clients expressedly for anxiety treatments and in my follow ups which I conducted post treatment up to 10 years most are and continue to maintain their own recoveries throughout a stratum of various percentages of improvement and wellness.

So this is a wonderful rate! Margrove yopu are indeed wise, compassionate and brilliant. <<so to really answer your question: Yes you can recover-to what extent depends on many things and for how long depends on many things. But the major variable is yourself- There we have it. I am collating results of recovery rather than stories of symptoms, meds, etc. etc. Hope is the firts step to recovery.

me/but cured no recovered yes.

Atopic anxiety is difficult to measure so these findings are really just observational. If the customer is satisfied-then it works. Rebt/cbt/humanistic therapy with meds seem to be the best options for me-rebt did the trick – I have recovered and have no limitations, I do however have a tendency to be a worrier, to obsess, be depressive and melancholic, ruminative, fretful, trepidatious and anxious. So I work on my belief systems continually. This is a long term project, not a 10 week crash course. Anxiety is not a disease, but a maladaptation and amalgam of many factors, some of which cannot be changed, like ones basic biological makeup, but one can make various accomodations coexistent with that to allow this or any factor to be secondary to their life and their goals. so to really answer your question: Yes you can recover-to what extent depends on many things and for how long depends on many things.

I don’t believe "cured" is the right word for our disorder, but I know what you mean. I say I’m in remission. I would say I am 98% cured from where I was, which was below zero at one time. I could not go past my next door neighbor’s house without suffering a severe panic attack for years….altogether I had suffered from PD for 18 years straight. I won’t go into details, but I will say I missed an awful lot of my family’s life and was physically ill almost all that time. Suicide was an option I once seriously considered. I am almost totally free from PD now for almost three years. The reason is I finally found the right p-doc, and he put me on the right combination of meds for me. I still have a bit of a problem with traveling far from home, but most of it is only in my mind. When I get up the nerve to do it, I’m fine. I have totally accepted the fact that short of a miracle, I will have to be on meds for the rest of my life, but that’s fine with me. I say a little prayer of thanks every time I take my meds. I’ve been to that place of hell for too long and I don’t ever want to go there again. xxoo Rita
