Why Panic Attacks Happen And How To Prevent Them


Listen Later

Matt Gutman has spent decades in front of cameras and microphones as a newscaster, reporting on current events across the globe. His calm, cool demeanor belied his internal struggle with a lifetime of panic.

Matt is one of many Americans who suffer from panic attacks. He tried pharmaceuticals, psychedelics and therapy. His journey is documented in the new book "No Time To Panic: How I Curbed My Anxiety and Conquered a Lifetime of Panic Attacks."

We talk to Matt and psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora about why panic attacks happen and how to prevent them.
