Is the panic attack what we are seeing from the persons perspective? Or is the panic attack the person with tendrils coming out of their head?

Beautiful art, from someone who has been clinically diagnosed with G.A.D. for most of my life. Panic attacks are pretty close to this but, much harder to explain.

Edit: I looked closer, the images coming out of the brain are "scary" dragons, spider legs, wolves, demons. Representing all of the things that consume you during a panic attack. This is an amazing piece of art.

The panic attack is the monster, I feel ya, I've also been clinically diagnosed with a severe case of G.A.D. as well as clinical depression. Art helps!

Thank you for what you do, art isn't appreciated as much as it should be but this piece has literally had me thinking, and observing it for the last 30ish minutes. It's been awhile since I've had a panic attack but this is in my opinion the best visual representation of it I've ever seen.
