AIM was founded in 1983, because the founder suffered from unrelenting panic attacks, and had suffered for 20 years with no one to help. She wanted to help other individuals with the same problem. The first group had 20 people, but soon grew to 10 groups, both in and out of state. Recovery is not a secret, and using behavioral and cognitive tools seems to be the answer.
