I have to ask where you learned this fable? I’ve had lots of experience of waking up in a panic brought on by a dream.

Mellman TA, Uhde TW Unit on Anxiety and Affective Disorders, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Md 20892. Sleep electroencephalograms were studied in 13 patients with panic disorder, *six* of whom experienced panic from sleep, and seven controls. Sleep was disturbed in the patients, as manifested by increased sleep latency, decreased sleep time, and decreased sleep efficiency. Rapid eye movement (REM) latencies were not reduced in the patient group. ***All *six* of the panic awakenings were preceded by non-REM sleep, which could be further characterized as a transition from stage II toward delta sleep.*** The overall degree of sleep disturbance (ie, sleep latency, sleep efficiency) did not appear to be influenced by the occurrence of sleep panic. There was also an association of increased REM latency with nights of sleep panic.

Hmmm – that’s interesting, but such a small sample is not really enough to make generalisations from. — Jon Guite Live support and chat for anxiety and panic disorders at the #anx/pan chat room in Dalnet. For details see http://www.skcldv.demon.co.uk/anxpanw.htm

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – You know, I was talking to one of my Sociology Professors and he was telling me that PD is more Psychological than Sociological. (For those of you who don’t know, Psych is individual, within your head and Soc. is group related) I don’t know if I agree. I don’t think this thing is purely a imbalance of some neurotransmitter or something like that. I really think that PD can arise from the societal issues that one experiences, whether it’s abuse or whatever. I disagree with this very much. I think it could be both, what do you think?
Bee, My own personal experiences very much dictate BOTH! There is a strong history of anxiety on both sides of my family and I also suffered abuses as a child. Combined, I think they have caused my AD. That’s my .2 cents! :) (((((((((HUGS))))))) ~Katie — "A word to the wise ain’t necessary. It’s the stupid who need the advice." —Will Rogers Before you buy.

I really think that PD can arise from the societal issues that one experiences, whether it’s abuse or whatever. I disagree with this very much. I think it could be both, what do you think? I think PD is due to a combination of factors, many of which have not even been discovered, or thought of, yet. But I think organic (neurological) causes will ultimately prove to be the major factors. Chip Despite the fact that a few of you macho men here don’t like to admit the fact that you may have a "mental disorder," which is nothing to be ashamed of (after all, it isn’t a character defect), the fact is that everyone that I know with PD has had a terrible childhood, or felt inferior, or suffered some kind of shock to their system (PTSD). Some may feel guilty about admitting that their parents weren’t the greatest, and are in denial about that. Your parents may have actually loved you very much, but were ignorant of parenting skills. I do believe the TENDENCY toward PD is a weak spot in our genetic makeup, and that perhaps another in the same situation would not react in the same way. It is our super intelligence and sensitivity that is responsible! : ) Truly, I believe that we are deeper thinkers and respond more intensely to bad situations. I don’t believe panic attacks happen "out of the blue;" I believe there is always a scary thought that precedes them, even if it is so fleeting that one doesn’t even realize he/she thought it.

Mine was more like a ’snap’ one day your world is gonna TURN to shit instead of a build up of it over time. I was actually agreeing with you though…in my case it was DEFINITELY an environmental/whatever issue moer than chemical…to start it, but the resulting issues (ie. depression, agoraphobia, etc) is what I was saying maybe chemically I wasn’t made to handle this but someone else could. I just KNOW I can’t. R

Response:
Hi Ken, You are kind of saying that its behavioral and that very well could be either sociological or psychological..and also could be a chemical imbalance or lead to one. once you feel helpless your body goes through changes. its the same if you feel love just the effects of love are much better. Love, Charla
Hi ((Charla)), maybe a chemical imbalance from the resulting depression at my situation but i know that a chemical imbalance was’nt the trigger for my illness. I was only referring to my own experience though not making a generalisation. What you said about your body going through changes once you feel helpless i can really relate to though, thanks for that.

Response:
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Boy can I relate to that Ken. My PD resulted from PTSD basically, and since I have seen a few PTSD’ers on here, I figure I am not that wierd. But from the start I figured that someone else could have gone through the exact same circumstances I did and walk back into their life. So in part it has to be somewhat physiologically based don’t you think? Like somewhere there is ONE little wire crossed? I couldn’t cope, but my next door neighbor could have been fine with the incident? I don’t think there is one answer to this question…I think Margrove’s (somewhat confusing) answer was probably closest to correct. Combination of a LOT of junk makes us all end up like we are…for good or bad. So how to choose one factor is the question of the ages. It is like a which came first question….one that we will never be able to honestly answer satisfactorily. R
Hi Robin, i understand your point but i know that if this had’nt happened to me i would’nt be in this mess now. It’s a condition i’ve allowed to go on for years and it’s gradually worn me down with resulting negative thinking, depression and ultimately anx/pan and aggoraphobia. I’m a hell of a lot better now than i was this time two years ago though, certainly not depressed any more, just a case of the feeling sorries for myself now and then. Still can’t completely shake off the agg and situational anx though. Love and best wishes, Kenny.

I think that you and your professor probably had a subtle communication problem here (some confusion regarding the terms and their meaning). Anxiety disorders in general certainly have diverse causes and/or triggers; which can be sociological, psychological, neurological and endocrine in nature. However, "Panic Disorder" (PD), as is defined in the DSM, is characterized by random panic attacks that are independent of the situation (social or otherwise). This does not exclude social or situational stressors as a cause or trigger for the "origin" of an individual’s PD, but, once PD has arisen, panic attacks can occur regardless of the situation. So I think that both you and your professor were correct, but misunderstood each other’s context. Best Wishes, Arthur
Response:
i think that when one says psychological, it could be chemical or situational. and i definitely think it has a lot to do with one’s own stressors, and people could be a stressor. it just depends.
Response:
Hi, I think that PD is a physical condition, possibly genetic, and definately inherited. I think that it can cause psycological problems, but I don’t think it begins that way. My views may be skewed by my own family history. My gr. gr grandmother probably had PD, she was hysterical <-typical old term for anxiety disorders, and gave my Gr. grandfather up for adoption even though she was married and her husband was the father. My gr. grandfather did not have PD, but two of his daughters have PD and three have OCD, my grandmother had both, of her children the two oldest have PD, the next two have no anxiety disorders, my uncle has developed PD within the last 6 months at 40, and I suspect that the youngest also has PD, or PD tendencies. My mom does not have anxiety disorders. Two of my moms cousins have PD one of thier mothers has it the other does not. I have two cousins with PD same mom, no PD. Is it learned behavior? I rarely see my family members with PD most live over 2000 miles away. Is it in how we are raised? I seem to think that were that the case the PD would have stopped when my gr grandfather was adopted by a family without PD. I have pondered this a thousand times.

I think PD is due to a combination of factors, many of which have not even been discovered, or thought of, yet. But I think organic (neurological) causes will ultimately prove to be the major factors. Chip Before you buy.
