Don't Panic - Adrian Ramirez

Don't Panic is the true story of my battle with anxiety, panic attacks and intrusive thoughts. Throughout this book, I want to take you on my journey from a young seven-year-old boy who did not want to go to school to a successful Criminal Investigator in San Antonio, Texas, (retired).

It was not until later in life that I was diagnosed with what is known as obsessive-compulsive disorder. A family member read an article in the local newspaper which mentioned a Phobia Clinic and with the help of a psychiatrist, and therapist from that clinic, and medication, I was finally able to live a normal life. It's amazing to see how a mind full of panic, anxiety and intrusive thoughts can be conditioned to follow a more rational thought process.
