>I must say I have panic disorder and have a son majoring in physics, and is a healthy happy young man. Panic is as hereditary as depression. Do I not worry about it? Yes but my son could "who knows" make a difference. His aim is to work at NASA someday. You cannot stop living a "normal" life due to your condition. After all, watch the news you'll see there is a lot more people out there worse off and very dangerous. I am not trying to lessen the fact that panic or depression are anything but fun or healthy but it doesn't necessarily mean your offspring will be riddin with it. Just a thought.!!
