Fears, Panic, OCD: Simple & Rapid Rx
The inner-ear origin of fears, phobias, panic, and obsessive/compulsive disorders was discovered by “accident.” Patients with dyslexia or ADD responding favorably to inner-ear-improving medications reported to Dr. Levinson that their fears, phobias, anxiety and even mood symptoms either significantly improved or disappeared as did their dyslexic and ADD symptoms.
Eventually, Dr. Levinson demonstrated the inner-ear/cerebellar mechanisms responsible for the following fears, phobias, etc.:
- Heights
- Needles or knives
- Flying or driving
- Snakes, mice or bugs
- Buses, trains, or boats
- The water
- The dark
- Telephones
- Loud noises
- Sports
- School
- Choking
- Motion
- Elevators
- Traveling or new places
- Bridges or tunnels
- Suffocating
- Crowds
- Small enclosed spaces
- Public speaking
- Wide-open spaces
- Sleeping
