I waited for 6 hours and then a doctor came into my room to ask me if my parents have ever hurt me! So i lied, because my parent were just in the other room, and he smiled at me, and left! He said I could go home! That was probably one of the worst days of my life! If you want to help your friend, give him attention! Don't pretend that what he is having is just a small issue! Talk to him! Help him calm down by holding his hand and distracting him! Make sure he knows that every thing is going to be ok! And if he ever decide to seek for help, don't go to a doctor! Go to a therapist!
I hope that was helpful!
Ps. I'm sorry for my english! I'm not from here.

It's fine. But wow. You have passed out because of a panic attack? That must suck. I have never passed out because of one.
I feel like if teachers were more educated on mental health that they would know what to do instead of the most severe case unless that is what you wanted, then that's your decision and not the teacher's. Just my opinion though.
Why would the doctor ask if your parents have ever hurt you? Did they think it was a cause? How did they think of that just because you weren't breathing because of a panic attack?
It's a her, but yep. I have never seen her go through a panic attack before, but she has seen me several times. I was just wondering the thought process of panic disorder and what other people experience. Maybe then I could help her a bit.
And I know about the doctor to therapist or pdoc or psychologist thing. I told my doc and she referred me to my pdoc.
It was helpful, thanks.
Grammar was fine. Don't worry about it
