| | PanicSynopsis: What's common to an Oscar-winning actress, a football legend, a mortgage broker, a happily married mother and a young model? They are just five of an estimated 23 million Americans who suffer from panic and anxiety disorders that threaten happiness, careers and even lives. In its characteristic hard-hitting way, HBO takes a long, close look at this syndrome. Among those who share their stories in this HBO Documentary is actress Kim Basinger. For the first time on camera, Basinger candidly discusses her panic attacks at length. Interlaced with comments from experts, this documentary shows us the panic-stricken lives of several other people. Don't miss the segment on "exposure therapy" where patients are deliberately placed in situations conducive to panic, where they are forced to confront their inner demons head-on! |
