about the author
He didn't manage it. He ended it.
Andy Meldrum fought panic attacks for 27 years — 9,855 days of a war nobody could see. He tried what he was told to try, and he kept losing ground.
Then he built something different: a set of Sensible Solutions that worked. His last panic attack was on December 19, 2012. He hasn't had one since. Andy isn't a physician or a therapist — he's a survivor who found the way out and now hands other people the map.
the book
Slaying the Panic Dragon
Written by a survivor, not a clinician — for anyone who has been told to simply manage it and refuses to settle for that.
Part memoir, part field guide, Slaying the Panic Dragon lays out the Sensible Solutions that took Andy from 27 years of panic attacks to none at all. Honest about the fear, specific about the way out.
