[edit] Picture

The placement of Image:Panic-attack.jpg at the top of the page and the simultaneous mention of a still-living artist's name is a possible conflict of interest in an article about a medical condition. Shawnc (talk) 12:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It's a nice image, but it really has very little to do with the subject. --Brokenchairs (talk) 20:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suicide

Do suicides have a connection to panic attacks? --68.111.222.42 (talk) 01:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] panic attack causes

I find that the idea that cannabis and psilocybin can cause panic attacks to be trivial. I don't care if it is a peer reviewed study, they have misinterpreted physical symptoms of drug and effect as panic attack, when it can just be excitation. Infact, there is contradictory evidence out there that cannabis and psilocybin have anti-depressant abilities and can otherwise treat anxiolytic symptoms (albeit, hushed by the anti-drug lobby, psychedelics were touted as revolutationary treatments for depression and OCD). I think the problem of the study is that it is behavioural and not cognitive and looking for outward external physiological reactions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.223.163.1 (talk) 12:17, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
