Anxiety Disorders And Famous Names

Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon has had panic attacks. This could have been triggered by her marriage problems. Sometimes, as mentioned elsewhere in this site, a major change can cause panic to surface.

Sir Anthony Hopkins, the fabulous British actor, unforgettable in his roles as Hannibal Lecter, the serial-killing cannibal, also had anxiety problems. (Watching Hannibal in action can give anyone anxiety!)

Burt Reynolds, Kim Basinger, Nicole Kidman and Sir Laurence Olivier are just a few actors who have also suffered anxiety disorder issues.

Panic Attacks Don't Care Who You Are

As you can see, these are famous names, people with more money than they can handle, and yet, they've been afflicted with this condition. They are also in the public eye.

Imagine having a panic attack just as the paparazzi are there, snapping photos. They could have a field day. Not knowing the truth, they could make up stupid headlines like "Kim Basinger, Drunk & Delerious" when she may be having a panic attack.

In that respect, it can be harder for them, being in the spotlight all the time. Panic can show up out of the blue. The last thing someone needs is unwanted attention.

Famous actors who have panic attacks have their own troubles. They too have to deal with it. The fact that they have influence or money doesn't make it any easier.
