Statin Drugs - Anxiety and Depression

How to Make Parents Understand Separation Anxiety?
I talked to his mom and asked her help by talking to her son about new faces, new school, etc. I even gave her pamphlets, books, and info about this case. But she never listened to it.
I offered to visit their home along with the other teachers to get to know the boy better outside school, but she declined. She's starting to get on my nerves. Now she's threatening to transfer the boy to another school if we can�t do anything to make him be independent. What shall I do?
You cannot rectify all dysfunctional families.

Anti Anxiety Medications for Anxiety Disorder
Are prescription anti anxiety medications the way to go if anxiety disorder doesn't seem to be going away by itself?
Prescription anti anxiety medications can help many people. But since you're asking on an alternative medicine web site, I suppose you're asking for alternatives. I'd suggest natural remedies first. In my opinion, plants are less harmful to the body than concentrated synthesized chemicals.
Above all, get those anxious thoughts out of your head. Talk to someone you can trust, or journal your thoughts. You'd be surprised how thoughts stop repeating in your head once you give voice to them. If you know you're suffering with anxiety disorder, then you are self-aware enough to help yourself through this.

What is Anxiety Disorder Like?
My boyfriend has anxiety disorder and I really want to know what it’s like for people with it. Please describe how some of you feel, so maybe I can understand better what he is going through?
I know it must be hard for you as my husband has a hard time dealing with me sometimes. Anxiety disorder is one of those things that's hard to understand even when you have the disorder yourself. I have had anxiety attacks and such since I was a very young girl. I'm going to try to explain this the best way I know how from personal experiences.
I have irrational fears, like when I go in a gas station, I fear that somebody might come in and rob the store and shoot us all, or if I am out by myself, that somebody might kidnap and/or rape me. When I was little, I used to have to pack a suitcase every night and put it by the door in case the house burned down. Anxiety disorder causes my mind to go so fast around these thoughts I can't think of anything else. My stomach hurts, my blood pressure rises, and I often can't breathe and start crying, especially when I have bad ones.

General Anxiety Disorder - Is it Normal to Fear?
I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder last year; it was really bad, I was worrying about everything and afraid of everything.
Now we are in the middle of trying to sell our house, adopting a new baby (first time parents and we get the baby in two weeks), and buying a new house. I can feel the anxiety coming on and I get scared because I really don't want to feel the way I did before.
Is this normal to be afraid of feeling that way again?

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.

Anxiety symptoms vary from person to person and the degree of anxiety can range from mild to very severe. Most anxiety sufferers experience significant physical symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, muscle tightness and a feeling of dizziness.
Because they are so intense, anxiety symptoms can cause a person to feel chronically tired and worn out all the time. Restful sleep does not come easily to anxiety sufferers.
