I have been suffering these stupid panic attacks for about 8 months now-if not mangosteen does anybody have any cures for panic disorder?

I don't think mangosteen helps panic attacks exactly - it just tastes good! (I mean, some people do use eating/drinking their favorite foods to help cope with stress, but it doesn't have a good effect on your health...)

Other ways to cope:
sketching peaceful-looking or ordinary objects with pencil
taking care of a pet animal
jogging in the evening

I had panic attacks and anxiety and went on a very low dose of an antidepressant to get me through the worst part of it at the beginning. But I also see a therapist and that helped a lot more in my opinion. I made some huge changes in my life that helped as well. I cut out caffeine and alcohol for a while and made sure I got into bed before 10:00 every night. I made sure I got some exercise every day. I practiced breathing routines and did yoga for relaxation. I used a journal to record things that were making me anxious. I also stopped watching the news every evening because it would get me upset. I watched comedies instead, because it felt better to laugh. These things helped a lot. I don't still do all those things every day- but if I'm having a bad week or something, I go right back into the routine because I know it makes me feel better. The medication was just to get me to be able to function normally because when I first started having panic attacks I was afraid to even leave my house. But once I started working on the other stuff, I didn't need the medication anymore.

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.

Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life
