We had an 11-year-old boy who had symptoms of excessive anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, tremors and excess perspiration since the past three years.

His parents mentioned that all his complaints started after he witnessed a car accident on a highway. It is since then that he developed these symptoms, sometimes before any important event like an exam or sometimes without any reason.

They added that the family thought that these symptoms would decrease with time and thus did not seek for any medical help then. Nevertheless, to everyone's surprise his symptoms were only increasing with age.

His episodes of Panic Attacks lasted for about an hour or so. After the episodes ended, he used to become quiet and just sit in one corner.

His school had provided him a counselor but in spite of regular counseling, his symptoms showed no reduction.

Based upon the symptoms we gave him the Homoeopathic remedy Opium. He started showing improvement with 6 month of treatment. The intensity and frequency of Panic Attacks showed reduction.
