     Is the caffeine connection widely unrecognized? Surveys document that 70 percent of patients with panic disorder visited physicians ten or more times before they experienced relief of their symptoms. The fact is that few physicians conduct a careful evaluation of caffeine intake, even though the medical literature is conclusive on the benefits of caffeine reduction in virtually all anxiety disorders.
