Anybody who has ever looked for a medical solution for anxiety disorder is usually told that there is no problem at all and that it is all in the mind. Yes, this is a familiar response to those seeking help from anxiety attacks; and the statement is always that the symptoms were just in the mind. Well, refuse to believe it.
Unknown to you, this was a doctor speaking from ignorance. It is common for old school doctors to make such statements however learned they may be. It is just common sense.
