Anxiety Attacks - Military Discharge
Will my anxiety attacks cause me to be discharged from military service?
I do believe it is possible to stay in the army with anxiety attacks depending on what your MOS or CMF is.
However, if you are a supply specialist, or a quartermaster or something of that nature, you may be able to get a waiver for your anxiety attacks.

Stress and Anxiety - Irregular Heart Beats
Can stress and anxiety cause an irregular or rapid heart beat? I've been through every test there is since I had a really scary tachycardia and every doctor I have seen says that my heart is fine and something else is causing the rapid and irregular beats..
I strongly suggest you have another doctor check you out and potentially have you checked by specialists.
I doubt it's stress and anxiety (although you are probably mentally enhancing it all by the considerable worry).

How normal is it for my 18 month-old son to suddenly develop intense separation anxiety from mother, even when left with very familiar relatives (including father), even when he can see mom simply stepping away a moment?
This past weekend, I worked Saturday too. Could this be enough to explain the separation anxiety? Or should I look into other possible reasons to try to fix things?
Without knowing your child, but reading your question alone, he sounds absolutely normal! Many people are unaware that separation anxiety happens in two stages. The first bout of separation anxiety typically occurs around 5-8 months of age, the second occurs between 15-18 months of age. It is even normal for the second bout to occur all the way up to the age of 2.5 years old.

To deal with the stress and anxiety of flying, work a lot a day before your flight and sleep less, so when you get in the airplane, you will feel so exhausted that you will fall sleep.
About being anxious in a new place, I don't know exactly what you can do. Most people feel this way about the unknown, it's normal. I would try to check over the net guides about the place, to get more familiar and make plans for where to go and what to do, this way, the trip can be more pleasurable with less travel stress and anxiety.

Beck Anxiety Inventory Offers Answers and Hope
Her doctor explained to her that the Beck Anxiety Inventory was developed to address the need for an instrument that would reliably differentiate anxiety from depression.
Catherine became even more confused when she saw the test, which asks her questions about "wobbliness in her legs, indigestion, feeling hot or having difficulty breathing."
The Beck Anxiety Inventory consists of 21 items, each describing a common symptom of anxiety. The respondent is asked to rate how much he or she has been bothered by each symptom over the past week on a 4-point scale. The test has been substantially helpful in thousands of clinical studies.

Anxiety Disorder and Pregnancy
Mild anxiety disorder and shortness of breath: is this normal at two months of pregnancy?
I am a very healthy 34 year-old woman and pregnant with our third child. I workout five times a week at the gym. When I was starting my second month I was having shortness of breath and I still am.
I did not have this so much with my first baby, but did notice it with the second.

ADD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Yes, it is possible but also consider that your symptoms might have changed between the psychologist and the psychiatrist.
Please consider meeting with another professional (counselor, psychiatrist, etc.) and discussing in detail what is going on to clarify a diagnosis (Any type of these mental health professionals can diagnose anxiety, ADD, and other DSM diagnoses).
Whoever you work with should be able to explain how you meet DSM criteria for a diagnosis - ADD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or anything else.

Anti Anxiety Medication - Remeron
Remeron is an older anti-depressant and I hated the side effects which are common with the tri-cyclic anti-depressants.
Ask your doctor about the new Cymbalta; it is the newest anti anxiety medication on the block and it has no side effects and works within one to two weeks! I have seen that happen many times.

Chronic anxiety disorder is the worst pain for humans, do you agree?
I've had horrible anxiety disorder and given birth. I'd rather give birth. At least you know there's an end to it, and it's for something positive. You're bringing life into the world.
However, nobody can discount another person's suffering. To that person, it's their entire world.

How do I get my puppy to stop having stress and anxiety in the car? He salivates heavily, and even a short trip to a favorite place like the dog park can culminate in vomiting.
To alleviate the stress and anxiety, see if you can get another animal to take with you for comfort in the back seat.
Oh, don't feed them an hour before planning on taking them with you, helps too.

You put her in her bed to play as long as she'll play and when she starts to cry, let her cry.

My Lhasa/Shih-tzu mixed pup has turned a year old and still has separation anxiety.
I think he sleeps with one eye open because if I get up to do anything, such as wash clothes, he immediately wakes up and starts to bark again. He is like a child not wanting to be left at daycare. How can I stop his separation anxiety and make him be more independent?
Do you know what started this separation anxiety?
