A member asked:

I have a phobia of what happens when you die so this has made my anxiety worse and triggered panic attacks therefore is behavioral therapy accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to see someone: You should speak with a psychiatrist and then he or she can get you on a regime that may include medication and therapy. This will help you get a better handle on the anxiety.
