If a choice exists to manage or be free from a condition, wouldn't the majority choose freedom? So what are some ways to reduce the physical effect of anxiety and or depression? Feelings such as you are about to have a stroke, heart palpitations, dizziness, inability to sleep, basically a slower way of being dead. Go to the one thing that we need to live, the breath. Let's start here. When any of the symptoms strike take a moment, bring yourself to the present and start deep, diaphramic breathing. Allow the breath to only flow through the nostrils. Each inhalation should be slow, deliberate and deep to the point your belly expands like Buddha. Hold it there for just a few moments. The exhalation should also be slow and deliberate, allowing all of the oxygen to leave the body, meaning toward the end of the exhalation suck in the stomach to make sure everything is gone. Repeat this cycle for a few minutes and then see how you are. Gauge how you feel and then continue with the breathing if necessary otherwise go ahead and continue what you were doing prior to the attack. For best results try doing this type of breathing throughout the day. This type of breathing reduces any negative effect of the Autonomic nervous system which when over active results in the following. Adrenal fatigue Headaches Impotency and erectile dysfunction High blood pressure Heart disease Multiple chemical sensitivity Food sensitivities Chronic fatigue Fibromyalgia Depression Anxiety Hyperactivity Alcoholism Addiction Compulsive overeating Food addiction Ulcers Insomnia Panic attacks Heart arrhythmia Gastrointestinal disorders Bowel disorders like constipation and IBS Bipolar Manic depressive Autism MS Obesity Circulation disorders Hyperactivity Attention deficit Violence and aggression Overactive bladder Gulf war syndrome PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Tachycardia Alzheimer's Parkinson's Excessive sweating with an unknown cause Worsening of any mental or medical health condition Thanks for listening and look forward to hearing your feedback. Be well, KG
I would be very interrested in the proof to support your statement that overactive autonomous nervous system resulting in the great list you have provided, especially Autism.

Please provide the proof!

I am no where a novice where autism is concerned so I expect you to defend the preposterous statement you have made.
