Stephen’s asked:
I never had a problem with the idea of leaving home until recently. I’m planing to move into an apartment closer to college, but now I’m having intense anxiety about getting older and having to grow up. I’ll be 20 when I move but I can’t seem to cope with leaving my parents and starting my life, the idea of me graduating college, getting a job and starting a family terrifies me.

But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this herb called “St John’s Wort” – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
If you’re unable to take St John’s Wort, you can substitute it with Siberian Ginseng or Licorice Herb.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this.
