"During a panic attack, the body typically releases large amounts of adrenaline into the bloodstream." - Science Daily
see, this statement here is where science has gone wrong in the study of panic attacks. who am i though? what clue would i have? would real life experience be enough? i got that!
from my perspective, from the inside, it's the adrenaline that causes the panic attack. without the adrenaline, there'd be no panic. it's not a chicken or the egg conundrum. why haven't i ever read anything like this?
adrenaline is produced in the little amygdala nugget of the brain.
if other parts of the brain can be oversized or undersized causing a myriad of mental disorders, then why not the amygdala? and if the amygdala can be oversized and overproductive, then wouldn't it produce more adrenaline? and if a person produces excessive adrenaline, then wouldn't they have panic disorder?
if this theory was proven, one could have surgery or injections to decrease the size perhaps and thus get rid of panic disorder altogether.
ps. Isn't this an example of Occam's razor?

actually, marta langely, i'm deleting your post because not only is it an advertisement for your book on anxiety, but it tells me absolutely nothing i don't already know. maybe you didn't read my post, but i'm looking for another answer.
