Today was nice discussing this case , i came up on the DDX for this situation , where if we as physician deal with Acute Panic Attack we treat with Diazepam and Alprazolam and for the later maintenance phase of the management one must give SSRI / SNRI Paroxetine and Venlafaxine are indicated. One might be tempted to gibe Buspar but not a good idea since Buspirone = Buspar is only indicated for GAD, so now there is a difference between acute panic attack and Panic disorder and one might quite wonder whats the difference , well the difference lies in one or two aspects of the presentation: Panic disorder presents with 1- concern of the patient regarding if" this will happen to them again" 2- of the minimum four attacks per day one or two of them should be dissociated from the context , for example its ok to panic if you heard a news you really didn't want to hear , but if your watching South Park episode the one with Erik Cartmen visiting the school psychologist "okeii" being told his BMI is really high , and your laughing non stop but suddenly you get agitated and palpitation and enter an anxious moment with perspiration and feeling of impending doom then thats panic attack , with recurrent episodes more than 4 times a day few days a week then thats repeated panic disorder which is decided to be called Panic Disorder. SO I think kevin Love this guy had a panic disorder and kept it to himself for a while, this aspect of a psychological condition sometimes is even more painful than the condition itself.

Reading this article brings one thing to mind, that looks are deceiving. In 2018, there is still a strong stigma surrounding mental health and as a result many people, men especially, do not seek the help that they need. Most people are of the opinion that you only seek the help of a therapist because you're "crazy" and this could not be farther from the truth. I am glad that Kevin got the help that he needed and shared his story with the world. It is my hope that his tetstimony and those of others in his position (being in the public eye) helps anyone else who is out there silently struggling to speak up about their experiences and seek the help they need. This may go a long way in shedding light on mental health and make it a topic that is readily discussed.

I gained a lot of respect for Kevin Love after reading this article. As a fan of the NBA, I was pleasantly surprised when I'd heard that DeMar Derozan and Kevin Love chose to speak out regarding Mental Health. I could only image how tough and challenging it is to be a high profile figure in todays society; always being judged, always being criticized, and always being watched. But with that, comes the benefit of always being heard. When any public figure chooses to speak about controversial topics, they have the ability to change opinions and open peoples minds. It's important for people like him to talk about struggles, because I know how many young children idolize NBA players, especially those on the Cavaliers. And I think it's important for people to know, that no matter who you are, you have the right to take care of yourself physically and mentally, and your health must always come first. No one should be at ridiculed for caring for themselves, whether its surgery or therapy. Reading Mr. Love's words, I felt as though he wrote so candidly, just writing down what was on his mind. What I appreciated the most was when he acknowledged that mental health can affect anyone in any way, as though he had an epiphany and gained respect for the topic.

This article drives home the point that taking care of one’s mind is as important as taking care of one’s physical health. Also, being good at what one does, does not eliminate the need to be mindful of one’s mental health. Kevin’s coming out to share his experience and not acting all “big”, “burly”, and “manly” about it is highly commendable because it not only emotionally and psychologically supports others out there going through the same or similar issues but also help raise awareness about the reality of mental health disorders and their impact on every day life more so, when the right help is not promptly sought. This story also serves as an eye opener for the athletic/sports governing body to invest more or at least equally in mental health professionals, the same way they do with trainers, nutritionists, dieticians, etc.

“Everyone is going through something”
I am really amazed about this article and there is a lot of truth in it such as; “people don’t talk about mental health enough”. This was, in fact, one of the things that called my attention because most of the people don’t recognize mental illness as a true disease and more importantly they don’t recognize the importance about mental health. Also, like Mr. Love that took 29 years of his life to realized and recognize that mental health is an important piece of his life. There are a lot of people that don’t even recognize that a mental illness is like any other physical disease such as a migraine, osteoarthritis, heart disease, cancer and furthermore. This really represents a huge problem in our society, because the first step of any problem is acceptance. However, I really admire Mr. Love because it takes a lot of courage to accept that you have a mental illness and to express and share your thoughts especially when you are a man and a celebrity. In the article Mr. Love says something that is really important; “Mental health is an invisible thing, but it touches all of us at some point or another”. Everybody at some point or another have been touched by a problem or situation in the different aspects of our life. The point is not because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it is not there. Definitely, the different situations in our life can influence our mental health. I agree with Mr. Love when he says that we need to be truthful with ourselves. After we are truthful with ourselves we know ourselves and accept our own physical and mental problems, and is only at that point when we can make the decision to make a change in our lives and look for help. This is very important because the person who has panic attack disorder can experience persistent concern of additional panic attacks, worry about consequences of attacks or behavioral change related to attacks, and persistent manifestation of fear to have another panic attack that will functionally impair the person. Not to mention and more important that individuals with panic attacks have an increased risk of suicide. I am sure that as Mr. Love did, accepting to have a problem and seeking for help are the best decision to make because it will allow you to grow as a person knowing your self better and having a better quality of life. Finally, mental health is as important as physical health, and we as society should recognize the value of mental health because it would avoid a lot of problems and situations that are daily occurring in our society.

Kevin Love's story was extremely impactful. As a former athlete; I could relate to the pressures of coaches, teammates, and your overall environment being a dictator of the person you are "called to be." In today's society, mental illness continues to stigmatized and swept into the shadows of our medical system. I postulate that Mr. Love stands as one of the thousands of basketball players that has experienced a panic attack or any other mental illness. He touched on an important topic for young males as well. There is a notion of becoming "a man" or "not allowing others to see your feelings" that hold men captive from expressing concerns or frustrations. Their voices are shunned and muted. It is important that we as future providers address our patients thoroughly and ask questions that dive deeper into pasts experiences that may be pertinent today.

I think the highlight at least for me and a struggle as a future clinician is recognizing that sometimes someone might be going through a lot more than they seem. Teasing out clinical cues in these patients can be challenging and the personal lesson for me is to never assume that just because someone seems "okay" that their isn't a bigger picture to paint. Psychiatric illnesses, in this case panic attacks, can happen to anyone. No one would expect such a successful person to have any "issues" but the reality is we all are human.
