Am I in the right group? I had been diagnosed by a psychiatrist as being bipolar . My therapist writes down that I have General Anxiety Disorder . So am I posting to the right group?

Also, what is the difference between a anxiety attack and a panic attack?

Hello and welcome. I am a female of a similar age, and I find this group to be very helpful. I'm just curious, did your anxiety start after menopause?

Mine started at 14. Please don’t try to sell me supplements or mushrooms.

I was just curious. I don't want to sell anyone anything. I have a theory that many women experience anxiety after menopause.
