Help For Anxiety And Panic Attacks
Anxiety disorders affect more than 19 million adults ages 18 to 54 in the U.S., more than 13 percent of the population in this age group. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive worry, occurring more days than not for a period of at least six months, accompanied by symptoms such as restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension and disturbed sleep. Panic Disorder is a severe anxiety condition characterized by panic attacks, acute episodes of anxiety with such symptoms as difficulty breathing, sweating, heart palpitations, dizziness, and fear of losing control. A new medicine in development may be able to help both those people with cyclopyrrolone class of compounds, which modulate the transmission of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). By normalizing the action of GABA in the brain, the medicine may reduce the abnormal neuronal activity associated with anxiety and panic attacks.
