That will do it. Lack of sleep throws off cortisol levels (hormone), lack of sleep causes stress (increase cortisol) lack of sleep causes depression/anxiety).
Sleep is not just to close our eyes and rest. During sleep the brain and body repair itself.
That’s the first place to start.
Educating oneself first and foremost on all that is affecting them externally/internally is key.
No primary care doctor is going to take that time with a patient. As their job is to facilitate RXs and get the patient out the door.
Sorry for the blunt and honesty-but it’s true. Doctors pills don’t fix anxiety/panic attack.

No I agree there needs to be a life style change but I will say my own daughter suffers from bipolar depression and medication is a must for her. It took many years to find the right combination. Without her meds she wouldn't be alive.

I have to disagree!
The right Dr and medication along with counseling and hard work, can and does help many with panic/anxiety disorders.
