Has anyone heard of Dr. Lucinda Basset? (Anxiety/depression)

Lucinda Basset is not and has never said she was a doctor. She has psychiatrists and psychologists at the Midwest Center for anxiety and depression on staff.

The anger and cynical attitudes on this board are sad. Any mental health issue and anxiety is NOT a mental illness is scary and can be frustration, but they can be overcome. It takes work, it is not as easy as popping a pill. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we cause our own anxiety by reacting to outside stimulus in certain learned behaviors. So only you can cure yourself by changing your thoughts and behaviors. (Cognitive behavorial therapy) If after years of therapy and drugs you are still the same or worse, you should examine what benefits you are getting by remaining unhealthy?

As a psychologist I used her program which I got on e-bay for $160 after my mothers death. As Lucinda says herself some people need medication and some people don't. Most people self medicate everyday with sugar, coffee and smoking and poor eating habits and no exercise and then wonder why they are so anxious and why they can't sleep?

I would highly recommend her program for someone who is motivated to work to feel happy again. Your thoughts and behaviors trigger the same type of responses that drugs do, only there are no side effects.

Saw the ad and it looked good, but after googleing around not so much.
Saw where her husband had committed suicide last year, a real tragedy I am sure.
But this got me thinking that he was part of their organization and he could not defeat his demons knowing the materials they sell so well, I doubt that they will help most others either.

One of the resources I found...

am sorry if i came across terse. people who know me, know that i have came from a extremely violent upbringing, i suffered with family isolation and shame - yes from being mentally unwell. i took out private health cover for 3 yrs to get effective and better treatment, here where i live we have 28 acute beds for over

300,000 people. only real acute patients get managed-yes medicated and within 4-7 days you are out. i have been doing a lot of healing, i have turned my life around, it has been a real darn battle. i manage my conditions, i live with them, and have done for over 20 years. so, been there and tried that. without medication i am up the dengy river!! i beleive in me, in people, i am continually learning and availing my self of wisdom through academic enrichment. i am getting there, it is a battle, but with compassion and love...............so will we all!!!

jamie.

I would highly recommend this program for anyone with anxiety, agoraphobia or mild-moderate depression. I believe this course is geared more towards anxiety and related disorders as opposed to Manic Depression. This program helped me get off Benzo's and learn to cope with the stress of everyday life as well as eliminate agoraphobia. It is truely a CBT based program. Like others said, if you want results you have to put in the effort. It is much easier to pop a pill then to deal (with anxiety). I also had moderate depression which stemmed from my ongoing anxiety/agoraphobia. This program helped tremendously. Two very big (smiling) thumbs up. I wish you all luck and god bless.

I suffer from anxiety constantly and panic attacks as well. I have been suffering since I was 18 years old and am now 31. It took me 10+ years to find a doctor who understood and was supportive. I have been on medication that actually helps for nearly 2 yrs and it has given me my life back. I went through many different medications most of which made my symptoms worse. I just found out I am pregnant and have to stop the medication as it is not confirmed to be safe during pregnancy and am experiencing severe anxiety due to that. I have been up all night and saw the info-mercial about the Midwest Center and called to get the free cd. The gentleman I spoke to was very nice and understanding and actually made me feel much better. I ordered the kit for the trial period but then decided to check it out online...I should have done that first. After reading a few negative reviews about money being charged and not refunded when returned I got really nervous and decided to call back and cancel. They were nice when I cancelled and didn't give me any trouble. I don't know if it was truly cancelled but I went ahead and notified my cc just in case to ease my mind. If anyone knows a good alternative to medication that works I would love to hear about it as I am suffering pretty badly right now and want to do something quickly because I know stress is just as harmful as the medication to my baby. Thank you for any information.

I am on this site because of the infomercial I was watching... I called the 1-800 number and was on hold to long, so I checked on my pc and found this thread. So here I am. I aswell cannot afford the life changing program so I am thinking, can someone who has money 'give' us the program? If you paid for it already its yours. If you can give the program to your 'sister' couldn't you "lend" to me (and others)? There may be information in there that could be life changing, maybe life saving for some. Hoping someone out there can help those who need it. Isn't that the point of this in the first place? Not the money.I don't believe giving something you paid for is breaking any laws (as long as its free) Hope to hear from someone.....soon!

  I struggled with depression my whole life. I am a 38 Year old male, I grew up with five sisters and one brother. Both of my parents where alcholics, my dad was physically abusive. Come home drunk and litterally was every meaning of the word "Monster". He quit drinking but he left a path of destruction for our family. Me and my two sisters being the youngist made it. The older ones barely.

  I had my first Panic attac when i was 23. I was sitting in my bedroom eating some a snack watching a movie and my heart started raceing, I had just came "OUT" to my mom and family shortly before. I was terrified to think what if my dad found out im gay. After 5 ER visits i went, many test, many medications later, I was diagnosed with Servere Panic Disorder. After 8 months of Xanax..because that is and was the only thing that worked, i winged myself off. 15 Years no anxiety.

  Around 5 monthes ago they came back, Ive recently order Lucindas Program from the Midwest Center for only 5 pymts of 49.95 plus shipping and handeling. Im back on the xanax for 2 months now and am looking for a new approach to this again...Ive always heard it said "Its Mind Over Matter", If you dont mind..then it dont matter. Careless i know but i have to find a new way to deal with all of this Stress in my life. I know it will work for me because im going to give it my all!!! Im a Licensed Cosmotoligst Now for 14 Years, Stress from my Clients, From my Family, and from My 15 year Partnership with Him. I love everyone and and take in all there problems and not careing for myself. Im going into it with a positive mind, and i hope to make something great out of it!!! Ill keep you posted!!!

Hi Leslie,

I am glad that you don't have panic attacks anymore. They are the worst. I am glad that the program helped you.

It is always nice to hear a success story. I am glad that yours is one.

Hugs, Karen
