: Just recently, I experienced the effects of overstress.  These effects included panic attacks, anxiety and depression.
  I consulted my doctor over these symptoms and evaluated my for any underline illness and everything
  was negative.  I'm 35 years old and have not been aware that I was pushing myself too
  much, I started experiencing these changes that I've decided to seek help.
  My doctor recommend that I seek help with an organization that helps anxiety and depression disorders and recommended that
  I should be treated for "White Coat Syndrome".  It appeared that Stress had caused my blood pressure to raise.
  My question is, what are the chances of a reoccurrence even though I learned to deal with change much better than before.
  Or better yet, how long before am back to being normal? Can you Help understand what happened to me
  and perhaps take the time to go over what it takes to bounce back to a normal individual?
  Thank you in advance.

Dear Sir:
I sympathize with your situation; however, your question is outside the scope of this forum.  I would recommend that you discuss these issues with your family physician.  I wish you the best of luck.
