Hi, I am 42 years old male and I have anxiety problems in last few months. It all started when my mother died and since then I feel very bad. I also had several attacks of panic and such condition has impact on my marriage. I have lost interests for my wife and our relationship and she has also noticed that. I would like to improve it but in the same time it is very difficult to cope with it.

Hi, anxiety is very complex problem and it affects great number of people. You need to consult your doctor what is the best thing to do but in the same time you have to do your best not to let it spoil your family life. It all comes from your head and you have to deal with it.

I have suffered panic attacks since I was 18 (47 years!) That is the BAD news.
The GOOD news is that this is an area where psychotherapy can help. Find someone who specializes in the problem - after some months of understanding the problem - my body's reactions - I was able to reduce the incidence of panic to a few well known situations - aircraft - the middle of a row at the theatre - somewhere where I am surrounded by people and cannot move.
For those situations I take a tiny dose of Klonopin (there are other drugs that may be more effective in other people). My last real attack was now several years ago - so the fundamental issue still is there but it is essentially 100% managed.
Before that, for almost 20 years, there were irregular periods of total hell - no one who has never had a panic attack can understand how terrible, terrifying they can be.
