Description:
It is not clear if panic disorder (PD) and agoraphobia are variants of the same disorder or distinct diseases. A laboratory test could help resolve this issue. Research has shown that levels of the urinary lysosomal enzyme N-acetyl-@b-glusosaminidase (NAG) differ between patients with various psychiatric disorders. This study examined whether NAG levels would be similar in PD and agoraphobia, suggesting the two disorders may be the same disorder, or different, suggesting they may be distinct diseases. Differences found could suggest either qualitative or quantitative distinctions between these disorders. Ninety-one agoraphobics were compared to 24 patients with panic disorder. NAG levels were significantly lower in panic patients compared to agoraphobic patients 9.7 +/- 8 versus 22 +/- 21; P < .005. These data provide limited support for the hypothesis that PD and agoraphobia may be distinct diseases. ... Read more

Fundamental Prattle
I suffer from panic attacks, so I pick up pretty much any book I come across dealing with them, but I wish I had left this one on the shelf.This book basically informs you that the answer to your chemical imbalance is God.Uh, what?How exactly is God going to help me rebalance the neurotransmitters in my brain?I admit I didn't even get all the way through this book, but its message was clear:it's not therapy or medication or meditation or exposure that's going to cure you, its a deity that the author just assumes that you believe in.

Panic Busters
Having suffered panic attacks myself for nearly 19 years, I was thrilled to find a book that could actually help me.After reading many secular books on panic disorder over the years and getting nowhere, Bonnie's bookhelped me believe God had a better plan for me...which didn't include panicattacks.Bonnie tells of her own experience with panic attacks and how Goddelivered her through prayer and trusting Him to help her.This book isperfect for Christians because it points you straight to the Bible.Mysearch is over as far as books on panic attacks are concerned.Followingthe guidelines set forth in Bonnie's book I really do believe I canovercome, which is something I once thought was impossible.This is a bookof hope for anyone who suffers from panic attacks.

Excellent
This book is very good in that it explains panic attacks and what agoraphobia is,thenit shows how to overcome them through the word of God using passages from the bible. There is a promise from God for each anxiety and fear we have and this is the book to read to understand how to learn to cope using the truth of God'sword.The questions at the end of each chapter are very helpful because I go back from time to time and see how far I have come in my recovery since I last answered the questions.

This book gives you the answers you have been looking for!
This book has given me the insight that I needed to help myself understand exactly what panic disorder is and how I can be set "free" from it with God as #1 in my life! Bonnie Crandall has been through it all when it comes to panic disorder and teaches you to become an "overcomer"! ... Read more

Product Description
Fear, essential for the survival of the species, is built into our DNA, but when this primitive instinct gets out of control, the resulting anxiety can be paralysing. Agoraphobia is a common complication of anxiety disorder, twice as common in women than in men, and literally means a fear of open spaces. But the reality for house-bound sufferers is a crippling fear of leaving the safety zone of the home in case a panic attack occurs. Agoraphobics are by definition isolated from the help they so desperately need, and friends and family are not always sympathetic. "Overcoming Agoraphobia" aims to help agoraphobics redefine their safety zone, so that no matter where they are, they are, they retain a sense of safety and calm. It covers the latest medical research and treatments, as well as practical issues such as work, benefits and disability badges.Topics include: symptoms and triggers; how to access help from your doctor, and medication; avoiding isolation - what to tell family, friends and colleagues; body matters - including nutrition, fitness and relaxation; complementary therapies; lifestyle changes; learning to relax; and, women's health and agoraphobia ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Agoraphobia," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Agoraphobia in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Agoraphobia when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Agoraphobia, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
