Coping with your Young Adult's Anxiety and Panic

Hi, I'm Mary Darud...

I launched the Brilliant Life Community after my teenager was hospitalized and diagnosed with anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia.

As a self-employed single mom, I have supported my young adult, who has been housebound for nine years due to panic disorder and agoraphobia.

Years into our struggles, I found myself emotionally, physically, and financially exhausted. At one point, I reached my breaking point and was ready to walk away from my mortgage. However, I remained hopeful, curious, and relentless in my search for answers. Eventually, I uncovered promising discoveries rooted in new models of neuroscience that helped my young adult begin to function better. These emerging therapies made a world of difference, putting us both in a much better place.

Now, my mission is to share this knowledge and support parents like you who are seeking answers and a way forward.

"I love working with Mary at Brilliant Life Community. It's a fantastic place to learn from her. I now understand The Anxiety Loop and can use this knowledge to help myself and my daughter. We've learned exercises to regulate, breathe, and shift our mindset. My daughter, now 26, is thriving—she graduated from high school and college and lives independently."
