Justin Duchscherer Suffers from Depression and Anxiety Disorders
I just heard about the Oakland Athletics pitcher by the name of Justin Duchscherer who was diagnosed with depression and anxiety attacks. Now, Justin isn’t a wall flower… no, he is a 2 time all-star!
And he is going to miss the rest of the 2009 season while he undergoes treatment for his anxiety disorders.
But here’s the thing… Justin could have kept this quiet from the media… but he decided to come forward to serve as an example to others sufferering from depression and anxiety attacks.
And here’s another thing… Justin has been battling his demons for quite some time… and this is very typical of those who suffer from disorders like this… it feels embarrassing… if feels like nobody is going to understand and call you a wimp.
But the important thing is this… Justin Duchscherer wants to get better… he wants to get healthy again and enjoy happiness as a human being.
As I read this article, I found out that Justin isn’t the ONLY major league player that has been sidelined by depression or anxiety related stuff this season. Detroit pitcher, Dontrelle Willis… St. Louis infielder Khalil Greene and Cincinnati 1st baseman, Joey Votto – all have depression, anxieties and panic attacks too.
And the real purpose of this post is to tell you that just about anyone can suffer from panic attacks and anxiety attacks. Even MLB stars! The best thing about it is… these guys are now seeking help.
And you should too. See your doctor for the correct diagnosis… he may recommend that you take prescription drugs or therapy to relieve your symptoms…
But I have a GREAT alternative… Panic Away by Barry Joe McDonagh… this is a groundbreaking ebook (electronic book that you can download to your computer right away)… that explains how to use the advanced pychology technique to cure yourself from your anxieties so that you never fear a panic attack again.
Good luck and I’m warmly hoping for the best for you,
Kate 
P.S. I also wrote up a short article about Delonte West, and NBA player that also suffers from the same condition on my website…

Busy lifestyle and day to day routine are the cause of anxiety attacks. It is very necessary to take time out for yourself and relax. Deep breathing exercises are excellent for anxiety and many people report positive results from meditation. Some other natural anxiety remedies to look into are St.John’s Wort, SAMe, L-Theanine, and Tryptophan.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one… taking medication or other “natural” anxiety remedies are NOT the cure… they may relief the actual symptoms of the panic attacks or anxiety attacks… but they don’t end the underlying causes.
This is exactly why I recommend that you check out Panic Away program by Barry Joe McDonagh… he will show you how to use advanced psychological techniques to end the anxiety disorders. In fact, you can also contact him and his team when you get the program for additional help.
