    Thanks for pulling the research. That makes perfect sense then. Therapy work would be centered on a) grief/loss b) fear of death/dying c) and probably loss of control (which is what is at the root of most generalized anxiety disorders IMO). SSRI's are over kill...there's no indication of any mood disorders that I've read about so far.

    Today, White's panic really surges only around airplanes, the residue of a lifelong fear of heights. "I know flying's safer than driving," he says. "But if I even start to talk about flying, it does something to me physically." Most often, his ride to the airport—when his imagination begins to fixate on the possibility of a crash—winds up being more punishing than the flight, which White survives by watching movies and interrogating attendants about the slightest bumps and noises. "It's an adrenaline thing," he says. "If the plane goes down, I'm ready to open the door, cartwheel out, and try to hit a tuck-and-roll on the ground."

    I haven't seen White a lot, but it seems like he has a much different type of game from Hedo .I mean, I like Hedo, but he has never had the post game that I think White has and was never quite as aggressive as it seems White is.

    Not seeing the Hedo comparison at all. Hedo's more of a perimeter player/shooter than White is.

    White is Mashburn-like, with a weaker shot.
