Has anyone tried the Attacking Anxiety and Depression program by the Midwest Center?
It uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I tried it many years ago and I went from having panic attacks daily to almost never having them. It has really improved my quality of life.
Does anyone know of any other programs out there that use CBT? I would be interested to know because I have become a real believer in CBT.
www.stresscenter.com found this online for the midwest center.....hope it leads you to more of the same.....
was going to have daughter use the cbt but she was unwilling at the time this was back in 2005, i personally have heard nothing but good about it.
nami.org.....may also be another avenue for help. there may be a chapter near you.
NAMI had an interesting article for download that discusses using CBT for schizophrenia.. I have never seen CBT mentioned before for schizophrenia. Very interesting.
Thanks Kathy!
glad i could help hun. nami is a great organization for mental illnesses of all kinds. keep it handy, you may need it again. also check there may be a chapter near you for meetings and speakers, docs, lawyers, various mental illnesses…
Hi, don't know any programs. Been fighting anxiety and panic attacks with meds for yars. Afraid of groups, rather do it alone somehow. Don't even know if the pills work but take them anyhow just in case. I think eating helps relieve stress. Good luck.

brad check out nami in your area…fountian of information and resources regarding anxiety to. you don’t have to go to meetings just take information off the website nami.org
I purchased some books at the book store the are called Feeling Good and When Panic Attacks i found then to be very helpful (if you like to read)they are rather long . David Burns M.D wrote them he teaches you how to do some CBT at home to help you over come anxiety. Check them out at you local book store and read through it alittle to see if you think it may help. Good luck and God bless.
Thanks my3boys, I will check them out.
Your very welcome.I hope you find that it helps. God Bless!!!!
