How I did it: I went to the PDoc for about 3 years.  I went to many different ones.  I thought I had schizophrenia but the diagnosis was psychosis with panic disorder.  I have not had another bout of it in a long time nor a panic attack.  The medication they prescribed really helped but now I don't even need it anymore.  I feel alright mentally.

Lessons & tips: Keep going until you get the answers you need if that means going to several different doctors.  Don't be afraid to disagree with a diagnosis or demand answers.

Resources: NAMI, prozac, antipsychotics
