My girlfriend suffers from non-specific anxiety attacks. This has been troubling her for the duration of our relationship. From what i can gather she has symptoms in common with panic disorder, i.e headache, heart palpatations and trouble breathing. Despite my constant badgering she refuses to go and see her local doctor (her mother is one of those goddamn homeopaths, so therefore conventional medicine is the worst thing in the world to that family).
It seems that the cycle will never break and although she doesn't see it, it puts a tremendous strain on me. Whenever an attack occurs i generally try to do what i can but i'm no medical expert so have nothing to offer her that can genuinely help.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could give me some advice on either how to coax her into seeking help or the best ways to deal with the problem myself to improve her quality of life,
