Q: Are Anxiety And Panick Attacks a Psychiatric Problem?

It seems that this anxiety topic contains a lot of references to psychiatric
medications and tools (e.G. Cognitive behavioral therapy).
Some of them seem to work and they are mostly prescibed by psychiatrists, hence the question in this thread: "is anxiety a psychiatric problem or not?"

and what happens if these medications and behavioral techniques
will not be efficient anymore? I am asking because everybody knows
that xanax which is used for anxiety will not have the same effect after
a period of time.

Is this medication degradation effect due to the fact that the body
(not necessarily the brain, because most of the psychiatric medications
have a systemic effect not local to the brain) is becoming accustomed
to the med or because there is a progression of the underlying physical
problem?

To what medical specialty have the patients with panick attacks and its
complications have to address?

I am asking this because there are doctors laughing at the patients
complaining about bad physical symptoms? And these doctors don't
even have the time to listen to the patient's list of symptoms and send
hem straight to a shrink for a misterious mental health problem?
Can anybody tell us the shape and color of this mental health problem?
It's like they already know something but don't want to tell the patient.

Patients with heart disturbances that are being told that this is not a
heart problem? If you don't believe the patient, how about if you start
believing his heart just by putting your hand over his chest. Is this
too hard to do?

Vanessa,
you are denying that there are patients that have been laughed at when
they though they have a heart problem and thereafter they were sent
directly to psychiatrists to treat their so called "mental illness"?
Just read what the user had to say in his posting
"26 y/o guy. Severe anxiety??? Desperate..."

how about if you make a mental effort of answering to at least a
question before brushing off all the questions in this thread?
Probably they were posted in a retorical way to force people like you
to engage in a rational discussion. At least we know that you are
trying to avoid such discussions.
