Bye Bye Panic

What Most Doctors Get Wrong About Anxiety Recovery


Listen Later

"You're fine."

That’s what the labs said. What the scans confirmed. What the doctor repeated after glancing at the results.

But your heart's still pounding for no reason. Your arms go numb in the middle of the night. Walking to the corner store feels like stepping into a survival drill.

This episode looks at what happens when the medical system runs out of explanations – but you haven’t run out of symptoms. When the only next step offered is a vague referral, and the underlying message is: “This is just something you'll have to learn to live with.”

It traces the quiet frustration of not being believed, not because anyone’s trying to gaslight you, but because the framework they’re working from doesn’t account for what’s actually going on.

Not anti-doctor. Not anti-therapy. But it is a closer look at why so many people feel stuck – despite doing everything they were told.

There’s more to the story. Tune in.
