MOBY’S FEARS FOR PANIC ATTACK EPIDEMIC
Dance star MOBY has undergone medical tests to determine what causes him to suffer panic attacks.
The Porcelain hitmaker volunteered for the U.S. study, which sought to determine if carbon dioxide causes attacks.
A link was found - and now Moby fears the condition will become more widespread, because of rising levels of co2 in the atmosphere.
He writes on his blog, "Like many people, I suffer panic attacks and years ago I was part of a study at Columbia university which examined the role of co2 in panic attack onset.
"The study pretty clearly demonstrated that elevated levels of carbon dioxide can trigger panic attacks.
"I’m not a scientist, but I was thinking recently: ‘Aren’t co2 levels rising globally?’ and it got me to thinking: if elevated carbon dioxide levels can trigger panic attacks, and carbon dioxide levels are rising globally…well, could elevated global levels of carbon dioxide create an environment wherein people are generally more prone to anxiety and panic?’"
