Myth or Fact?

Members,  

Myth: My nervous system is in conflict during anxiety attacks, would it collapse?

Fact: Many people are frightened about what might happen to them as a result of their symptoms, perhaps because of the belief that their nerves might become exhausted and they may collapse. The fight / flight response is produced chiefly through activity in the sympathetic nervous system, which is counteracted and balanced by the parasympathetic nervous system putting it back to normal.

What do you think?
