I won't depress everyone with how bad it really is, but do take care of it or it can turn very very bad. I see it first hand every single day.

this is why quiet if you have just started having them you have to take care of it immediately. Depending on how bad the attacks are and how scary they are people like Houdini's brother will go to any lengths to avoid getting another one.
A lot of people get in other trouble by self medicating themselves with alcohol. Lots of alcoholics are people who have underlying anxiety disorder.
