a book by Andrew Meldrum
SlayingthePanic Dragon
Twenty-seven years of panic attacks. The last one was on December 19, 2012. This is the account of both.
the book
Slaying the Panic Dragon is a first-person account of living with panic attacks for twenty-seven years: what they felt like, what they cost, and what it took to keep functioning while saying nothing about it.
It is written in plain language by someone who was in it, not by someone who studied it. It does not promise a cure and it does not offer a protocol. It describes one person's experience honestly, which is the thing most people say they could not find.
